This is a book about the life and experiences of Pat Morrell as a
Realtor, and a real estate broker. On her long journey she spent
over fifty one years in the real estate industry as an active
agent. She traveled through many valleys and over many mountains,
experiencing challenges, losses, and trying times. It required
faith, determination, and persistance. There were constant, new
experiences, and changes in the "market," and the paper work
requirements. The book includes articles and poems Pat wrote that
were published over the years in the Real Toro, Real Estate Guide,
and SACBOR by her real estate board. Some of the articles are
"motivational," and some are about the lives of realtors, including
President's of her Board of Realtors. Her book, "So You Want To
Sell Real Estate" was started over thirty years ago, and never
completed. Because of other obligations, and life's challenges, it
was filed away until just recently. Those pages are included in her
book, as well as other miscellaneous, inspirational, motivational,
and thought provoking articles and poems. The "survivor's" can take
a trip down "memory lane, " journeying" back through the years.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
Advertisers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century pushed
the boundaries of printing, manipulated language, inspired a new
form of art and exploited many formats, including calendars,
bookmarks and games. This collection of essays examines the extent
to which these standalone advertisements - which have survived by
chance and are now divorced from their original purpose - provide
information not just on the sometimes bizarre products being sold,
but also on class, gender, Britishness, war, fashion and shopping.
Starting with the genesis of an advertisement through the creation
of text, image, print and format, the authors go on to examine the
changing profile of the consumer, notably the rise of the middle
classes, and the way in which manufacturers and retailers
identified and targeted their markets. Finally, they look at
advertisements as documents that both reveal and conceal details
about society, politics and local history. Copiously illustrated
from the world-renowned John Johnson Collection of Printed Ephemera
and featuring work by influential illustrators John Hassall and
Dudley Hardy, this attractive book invites us to consider both the
intended and unintended messages of the advertisements of the past.
