Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard, of East Aurora, New York was a philosopher, soap salesman, entrepreneur, vaudville performer, bohemian, bigamist, horseman, humorist, printer, novelist, moralist, farmer, egotist, liar, plagiarist, avid supporter of big business, avid defender of individual rights, anti-intellectual, supporter of the arts, male chauvinist, pro-feminist, and college drop-out. from watching the video in class Hubbard was a strong bussiness man that had abillty to sale to anyone. From the video, I learn that he lived a double life cheating on his wife. His college life was short, he was to wild for Harvard.It seemed to be comfined to society image also. Soon later he form an arts and craft company across seas. All his products were made by hand. his idea was to make it for everyone to use. Soon went back to the states to start new again. Hubbard bought roycraft company and used the locals as workers. Message to Garcia was his best saler, it was the 3rd in the most book sold at that time. Hubbard was a true designer and saleman. Hand crafted became valued very much, in someway it is still valued today.
