He was a salesman. After his father's business failed in the Depression, he was a sales manager for the G.L. Hight Motor Co. in Rome until the owner retired.

He was recommended by General Motors to the owner of the Chevrolet Agency in Statesboro, GA. He was very successful in building up that business. (When the owner, Mr. Franklin asked him after he had been there for sometime, what had made take the job, his answer was, "Well, when I saw your books, I knew there was only way for the business to go:!).

Wilbur was kindly man, jovial, and loved by all the people who worked with him. Before he died of cancer, he trained the young son of the owner, who wanted the Agency, to run the business. (This young man told me that he loved "Mr. Pepper" more than he loved his own father, who had never bothered to be a father to him).5
