Marion Seth and Maurine Derrick Horne spent many of their years building connections and working their way up the entrepreneurship ladder. Seth was employed by the Federal Government in Washington, D.C. during the depression years beginning in 1931. He worked for the Labor Department, Executive Offices of the President and Department of Treasury and Office of Public Housing.
