Eisenhower adasaina Federal-Aid Highway Act ya 1956: mapulani azaka 13 omwe angawononge $ 25 biliyoni, omwe amathandizidwa ndi 90% ndi boma la feduro.

Kufotokozera Mphindi 1: “Mu 1969, chidwi changa chazamalonda chidanditsogolera kuti ndiyambitse kampani yanga, John Q. Hammons Hotels. Ngakhale Holiday Inn idandithandiza kukhala wopambana, ndidasintha magiya nditawona mahotela azachuma akutuluka pafupi. Tidayenera kuchita bwino, chifukwa chake tidangoyang'ana pamsika wokweza, makamaka tikumanga hotelo za Embassy Suites ndi Marriott zokhala ndimalo amisonkhano. Tinaganiza zomanga mahotela apamwamba opitilira zomwe makasitomala amafuna. Palibe mahotela athu omwe ali ofanana ndipo timagwiritsa ntchito ma atrium, mawonekedwe amadzi ndi zaluso zakomweko kuti apange aliyense payekha. Timayesetsanso kupitirira muyeso wa hotelo iliyonse, monga kukulitsa mayendedwe mpaka kufika mamita asanu ndi awiri ndikukhazikitsa njira zolowera pod. Ngati mumamanga bwino, pezani molondola ndikupatsa makasitomala zomwe akufuna, agula. Njira yabwino kugulitsa ndikulola kuti wina agule. ”

Kufotokozera Mphindi 2:  “Pambuyo pa 9/11 kutukuka kwa hotelo kudayimilira mwadzidzidzi. Makampani anali ndi mantha kwambiri kupita patsogolo. Pamene aliyense anali patsogolo, tinapita patsogolo. Ubwino wopitiliza kumanga mahotela kunali kupezeka kwa zida ndi ntchito. Tinkadziwa kuti chuma chikubwerera ndipo anthu ayamba kuyenda kwambiri. Mahotela athu amafunika kukhala okonzeka kuwalandira. Tamanga ndikutsegula mahotela 16 kuyambira 9/11, ndipo chisankhochi chinali choyenera. Posachedwa mtengo wa simenti ndi chitsulo udayakira, ndikuwonjezera 25%. Pogwiritsa ntchito mahotela panthawi yosadziwika, kampani yathu yasunga US $ 80 miliyoni. Ziribe kanthu zomwe chuma chimachita, zivute zitani, pitani patsogolo.

Ndapanga bizinesi yanga yonse kuti ndipeze misika ndikupanga mahotela abwino. Kuyambira 1958, tamanga mahotela 200 kuyambira pansi. Tili m'njira, sitinaiwale kubwerera kumizinda yomwe imatithandiza kuchita bwino. Taphunziranso kuti muyenera kukhala opanda mantha kuti mupambane. ”

Upangiri woyamba wa a Hammons ndikuti "simumanga popanda msika… Aliyense akuti 'malo, malo, malo'. Koma sizoona. Ndi msika, msika, msika. Zomwe ndimachita ndikupita (mdziko lonseli) ndikufunafuna malo omwe mafakitale agwira ntchito ndikupita kukagwira ntchito. ” Ma Hammon sanamangidwe m'malo oyambira. Adasankha misika yachiwiri komanso yapamwamba pomwe mabungwe akuluakulu amakhala ndi maofesi kapena mafakitole am'madera komanso matauni aku mayunivesite ndi likulu la boma. Pamene a Hammons ndi wachiwiri wawo wamkulu wa a Scott Tarwater adakwera ndege yabwinobwino ya a Hammons, anali kufunafuna mgwirizano wamisewu yapakatikati, malo oyendera, njanji, mayunivesite ndi likulu la boma. Iwo sankafunika kukhala olondola pakati pazomwe zilipo; M'malo mwake, adakonda kukhala m'malo okhazikika osagwiritsa ntchito kwenikweni. Mverani malingaliro a Hammons: "Nditadutsa (ambiri), ndidaganiza zopita kumayunivesite ndi likulu la boma, ndipo ngati ndingapeze zonse, (mwachitsanzo) Madison, Wisconsin kapena Lincoln, Nebraska, muli ndi homerun. Chifukwa pamene mavuto azachuma amabwera, anthu amapitabe kusukulu ndipo ogwira ntchito m'boma amalipirabe. Pambuyo pa 9/11 osewera osewerera omwe ali ndi mahotela akulu kuma eyapoti akulu ndi malo amzindawu adakumana ndi vuto lalikulu. Anasowa chochita. (Pomwe) tinali kuno ku mayunivesite ndi m'mizinda ikuluikulu komanso m'minda yolima / yolima. ”

A Hammons sanakhulupirire maphunziro ovomerezeka, achitetezo chachitatu. Atayamba ntchito yake yachitukuko, a Hammons amapita kumatauni kuti akaphunzire momwe angathere. Izi zikutanthauza kuti tizilankhula ndi bellman, oyendetsa taxi, onse amalonda akomweko. Ankadalira kuweruza kwake komanso malingaliro a akuluakulu ake. Meya a Susan Narvais aku San Marcos, Texas adati "Mizinda yambiri iti," Ndibweretsereni kafukufuku wanu. ' Koma a Mr.Hammons ndi kafukufuku woyenda. Mumadalira ziweruzo zake pongoyang'ana mbiri ya moyo wake ndi ulemu womwe amalandira. ” A Hammons adapereka fanizo ili: "Chilumba cha Mackinac chili ndi Grand. Colorado Springs ili ndi Broadmoor. Ndidadziwa kuti dziko lam'nyanja la Branson likhala chinthu china.
