A propos de cet article

Fine unread condition glossy photographic softcover wraps. Includes About The Braden, Sutphin Ink Company; About A.C. Sutphin Foundation; Acknowledgments; Prologue; Epilogue and About the Author. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "Albert Claude Sutphin was one of those rare human originals who doesn't fit into any ready-made niche, particularly those of the political or bureaucratic arena. He was no statesman, no jurist, no diplomat, no influence peddler, no journalist, no academician, no professional do-gooder. He never made a speech except under heavy duress. He hardly ever wrote a letter to the editor, except when he wanted to say something nice about somebody. His personal trademark was a bright red tie, whimsical yet unforgettable. His eyes skimmed past the heavy headlines bearing on national and international matters to seek out the sports pages and briefly, the business column. His life would be defined by those two fields of endeavor: each fed the other. It would be enriched by his family. Al Sutphin came to the attention of the wider Cleveland public in the beginning years of the historic decade of the 1930s, surely the most dismal period in the annals of the city and the nation. Until that time, he had been preoccupied in building up the fortunes of a small company, the Braden-Sutphin Ink Co. Now it was time for something different. Sutphin, who never completed high school, was smart and a capable leader. A fact borne out by his achievements at the ink company. Yet his biggest challenge arose when he set out to sell his fellow Clevelanders on the basic idea of deriving some fun out of being alive at a time when the world they knew had collapsed around them. He was to build the Arena. This is the story of a common man with uncommon energy and vision. A story that reveals the best of what one person can achieve, even through the worst of times, for benefit of all. Al Sutphin brought to life his dreams and shared them with his family, his city and his state. He put Cleveland, and its people, clearly in the Arena!" - from the rear outer cover. …

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
