He then went to work with Jack McClung at Sunshine Grocery as a butcher. In 1958 George had the opportunity to start his own business by purchasing Spivy Hardware on N. Chadbourne. He changed the name to Samuels Hardware and was in business for 42+ years. He moved and expanded the store 2 times with the final location being at 3013 N. Chadbourne. It was said by many of his customers that if George didn’t have what you were looking for, it wasn’t available.

While working, George was also very involved with the North Angelo Lions Club for 50 years, the San Angelo Saddle Club, serving twice as president, the San Angelo Credit Bureau, the BBB, ASU Athletics Ram Club, various dance clubs and bowling leagues.
