 Marian, Judith, Bob About 1926, Thorwald (Bob's father) bought his own Autocar Dumptruck and specialized in obtaining topsoil by leveling city lots and selling it at many Japanese-owned plant nursuries around LA. A one-man operation, he hand loaded the dirt and sold it for two dollars a cubic yard. Borrowing money for a new Moreland Dumptruck and later, repairs thereto forced him into bankruptcy in 1931 and that truck was repossessed by the lender.
