Note:
Full title:That enterprising Issei can make new lives for themselves in strange communities is proved by the case of George
Inai, who before the evacuation order operated a grocery store in Sacramento, California. Now he runs a thriving grocery concern
in Denver, Colorado. He is shown here waiting on a customer in his Denver, Colorado, grocery store. Inai, married and father
of four children, the oldest of high-school age, was evacuated to Tule Lake. During segregation at the center, he was transferred
to the Topaz, Utah, center. He relocated from Topaz to Denver in October, 1944, and lost no time in opening his store. Like
most persons of Japanese ancestry who formerly lived on the West Coast, he feels occasional nostalgic twinges but he's doing
so well in Denver that he thinks he'll stay there. California, he has concluded, is after all only one state in a large nation.<lb/>
