Barney Karbank's father Arthur owned a fish market.
Arthur didn't want Barney to work in the fish market because he was concerned that the wet, slippery floors would be dangerous for Barney (Barney had polio as a child).
Also, the work was physically demanding and the work environment was not very pleasant.
Arthur observed that his fish market customers who worked in the real estate business tended to drive new cars and had nice clothes.
He suggested to Barney that it might be a good profession for him.

In early 1951 Barney sold to the Denenbeim family an old hotel building on the northeast corner of 9th and McGee Street.
I found a wrecking contractor, a parking operator and put the deal together.
As luck would have it, early in 1951 I was walking near my office and ran into Bill Campbell, vice president of Herbert V. Jones & Co., who congratulated me on the hotel deal.
He knew I had sold it to the Denebeims.
We started talking about another property they had interest in and business in general.
