Tom Johnstone and Samuel Dewy Cushing met in the year 1930. They developed a friendship after meeting at a Broadway show called Artists and Models, where Johnstone was part of the production and Cushing was one of the investors of the show. Sam Cushing saw the success with Johnstone's art agency, so he suggested that his son Jack Cushing see Johnstone for a job. Johnstone soon made Jack Cushing a partner, and Johnstone and Cushing was established. (en) |
