    The explanation for the answer "True" is that Milton's father sells picture frames and his art directly to people in their homes. While he may be doing well in this job, it is unlikely that he will make a lot of money from it. This suggests that although he may be successful in his sales, the nature of his business and the direct-to-consumer approach may limit his potential for significant financial success.
