Description

Having arrived in Mississippi, business ownership—grocery stores, dry goods stores, hotels, and rental houses—was a desirable trade for the early Lebanese. Fathers passed the skills of the trade—and the work—down to the children. Like other Lebanese children, Mike Tonos spent much of his youth tending to the cash register in his father’s grocery store in Greenville.
