Full title:Frank Kishi, Issei formerly of Los Angeles and Colorado River Center, with a fellow worker at Shelly Motors, Kansas City, Missouri. Mr. Kishi, who owned his own service station in Los Angeles, is employed there as an auto mechanic. When asked why he plans to buy a home in Kansas City, Mr. Kishi said that he and his wife sold their home in Los Angeles and We plan to stay here. People in Kansas City are different--they aren't as snobbish and they kinda like you. His wife, Marguerite, a Nisei, does office work at the Midwest Cold Storage Company. It took us six months to find a nice place to live, Mr. Kishi said, But now we have a real nice apartment. I just bought an old car and spent $100 fixing it up. We sold our other car. You can tell the people in the centers that we're getting along fine. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Kansas City, Missouri.
