Bob Slate

Seventy five years ago Robert Slate started selling paper and pencils at 8 Holyoke St. In Harvard Square as Bob Slate, Stationer. He persevered, survived the depression, nurtured his shop through the forties, thrived in the fifties, and unknown to himself created a legacy by orchestrating a seamless transition of responsibility to his sons Justin starting in 1963 and Mallory in 1973.
