EKI's Cyclery was a great Dealer for Schwinn Bicycle Company and SSW. They did an exceptional job of representing the Schwinn Brand. They helped the Schwinn national advertising agency with many of the photo shoots you see today in the consumer catalogs. They worked through Schwinn Sales West for parts and bicycle orders. Obviously due to the distance from California we handled this account and The Bike Shop in Anchorage, AK a little differently than the mainland Schwinn Dealerships. Each account had an assigned phone order desk salesperson at SSW. Both accounts were assigned to Bruce Miller our Schwinn Sales Representative that lived in American Fork, UT. Bruce normally called on Schwinn Dealers in Utah, Southern Idaho, and the Western Slope of Colorado. Twice a year he made the week trip by Delta Airlines up to Anchorage to visit The Bike Shop, then down to EKI's to service these accounts, and take care of any problems. Bruce was not only an employee but a friend. I asked him one time when we were traveling together why he went to check his P.O. Box every morning? He said he always worried that if there was "a pink slip" in the mailbox he did not want to "work a whole day" for free! He was a great guy, lots of laughs during our travels.
