Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"NEW YORK FOLKS" narrates the saga of Sure-Lite Brands Corporation,
a producer of matches founded in 1893 by Hiram Ryder, a
blacksmith's apprentice. Sure-Lite evolves, after a public offering
in 1965, into a Fortune 200 NYSE listed corporation with CARSON'S a
high growth retailer in the Home Center industry developing into
Sure-Lite's principal business. A major power struggle erupts
between the Ryder brothers for control of the company. Their
struggle attracts predators, ambitious operating executives,
slippery investment bankers, and corporate knaves, along with easy
and hard ladies sporting high heels and sharp elbows. The narrative
is brim with board of directors meeting conflicts, and self minded
men and women who occasionally find themselves in foreign bedrooms.
They are New York folks.

seven book cycle narrating the formation, rise, decline, and fall
of a major management consulting firm.
