Whit's Income

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Wouldn't it be his encyclopedia company? I'm sure those companies can be quite wealthy

Whit is the chief stock holder of the Universal Press Foundation. It primarily focuses on Encyclopedias but also other small area (like Macadamia Publishing). As the "owner" of a major publishing company, Whit gets a ton of money while hardly lifting a finger.

It isn't that Whit couldn't be making money if he wanted to - he chooses not to. :) In a very early episode ("Recollections," if I recall correctly ;)) Tom tells Connie that in all the time that Whit owned Whit's End, he's never made a penny off of it. My guess would be that he keeps his prices at a level needed to cover only his basic costs, and in doing so keeps things more affordable for everybody. Plus people do go to Whit's End just to hang out sometimes, or just to play with the trains or whatever. Whit's End doesn't have an entrance fee. ;)

In "Tales of Moderation", Whit tells Connie that he also has his hand in a few other businesses, as well. ;)
