Biographie de l'auteur :
Obvious Adams was the first of many published writings of this author. They ranged from magazine articles to hardcover books. It was his hobby. As his son once said, “I never saw Dad whenever he was on vacation or in his ‘spare time' that he didn't have a clipboard, some yellow copy paper and several pencils on hand, drafting his latest article or book.” Although he wrote for pleasure, sometimes anonymously and sometimes under pen names when not under his own name, most of his writings were published. In addition to magazine articles, he authored four major books: Captains in Conflict, Yours to Venture, All the Time You Need, and Try Giving Yourself Away. Bob Updegraff, as his friends and clients called him, was a business counselor serving as a personal advisor over a period of forty years to the top management of such leading companies as: Aluminum Company of America; American Brake Shoe Company; General Foods Corporation; W. T. Grant Company; John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company; Hart, Schaffner & Marx; Jewel Companies, Inc.; Kellogg Company; Lever Bros. Company; Shaw–Walker Company and Westinghouse Electric Corporation. He also carried out a special project for Reader’s Digest to which he had contributed several articles under various pen names. He served as Director for Scarsdale National Bank for 32 years; Jewel Companies, Inc. for 25 years; and W. T. Grant Company for 18 years. Although he resigned from all boards at age seventy as a matter of principle, he remained associated with several of his long-term clients well into his eighties. He was still writing articles and drafting books he hoped to publish at the time of his death at 88.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
