Download or read book My Tupperware Party Was Over and I Sat Down and Cried written by Elsie Block and published by Author House. This book was released on 2004-10-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Tupperware Party was Over and I Sat Down and Cried, Mrs. Block skillfully relives for you the Tupperware experience – the party. She shows the lighter, almost hilarious, moments experienced by guests and dealers alike. She shows the reader how she crafted the meetings and parties to be an exhilarating experience for everyone involved. It was truly an electrifying moment. The reader will be fascinated by the author’s unfolding the secrets behind why Tupperware became so popular. As Phil Grosso, past president of Tupperware, U.S.A., once said to her, “Elsie, you’re the only one who can tell the history of Tupperware.” Today, with the home business market expanding rapidly, Mrs. Block explains the key points on how to be a successful salesperson in any chosen field or market that a dedicated entrepreneur enters. The book is not all laughs. The author also reflects on the downside of the ethical and moral problems that plague many businesses today. The author’s hope and prayer is that the reader will be far more prepared than she was in knowing what to do when a dire situation presents itself in their lives. Hopefully, by living the Blocks’ experience the reader will gain insight into the problems.
Download or read book Life of the Party written by Bob Kealing and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible story of Brownie Wise, the Southern single mother—and postwar #Girlboss—who built, and lost, a Tupperware home-party empire Before Mary Kay, Martha Stewart, and Joy Mangano, there was Brownie Wise, the charismatic Tupperware executive who converted postwar optimism into a record-breaking sales engine powered by American housewives. In Life of the Party, Bob Kealing offers the definitive portrait of Wise, a plucky businesswoman who divorced her alcoholic husband, started her own successful business, and eventually caught the eye of Tupperware inventor, Earl Tupper, whose plastic containers were collecting dust on store shelves. The Tupperware Party that Wise popularized, a master-class in the soft sell, drove Tupperware's sales to soaring heights. It also gave minimally educated and economically invisible postwar women, including some African-American women, an acceptable outlet for making their own money for their families—and for being rewarded for their efforts. With the people skills of Dale Carnegie, the looks of Doris Day, and the magnetism of Eva Peron, Wise was as popular among her many devoted followers as she was among the press, and she become the first woman to appear on the cover of BusinessWeek in 1954. Then, at the height of her success, Wise's ascent ended as quickly as it began. Earl Tupper fired her under mysterious circumstances, wrote her out of Tupperware's success story, and left her with a pittance. He walked away with a fortune and she disappeared—until now. Originally published as Tupperware Unsealed by the University Press of Florida in 2008—and optioned by Sony Pictures, with Sandra Bullock attached to star—this revised and updated edition is perfectly timed to take advantage of renewed interest in this long-overlooked American business icon.

Download or read book A Cry from the Dark written by Robert Barnard and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-02-17 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master of mystery Robert Barnard, internationally acclaimed for his suspenseful, witty literary gems, cleverly mixes past and present in A Cry from the Dark, an intriguing tour de force sweeping from 1930s Australia to contemporary London. Bettina Whitelaw has come a long way from her childhood in the little outback town of Bundaroo, Australia. Many years have passed, a lifetime really, but she's never forgotten what happened there on the evening that changed her life forever. How could she forget the school dance, her taunting classmates, dancing with the strange but brilliant English boy, Hughie Naismyth? How could she forget what happened next, when, overheated and exhilarated by the music and the moment, she wandered off alone into a secluded, wooded area? Now a renowned, elderly author living in London's elegant Holland Park, Bettina faces a flood of memories as she works on her memoirs, even though her focus is more on the frightening things that are happening today. Someone has recently entered her home and gone through her desk. The intruder is clearly not an ordinary burglar. It must be someone she knows. She's been a little lax in handing out keys, so the suspects are many -- her nephew, Mark; her agent, Clare; her friends, Peter or Katie. Or it could be someone else. What does Bettina possess that this person would want to steal? A puzzle that at first seems mildly disturbing soon turns deadly serious. Someone is willing to kill -- but why? Does the answer rest in Bundaroo or nearer to home? A Cry from the Dark shows us vintage Robert Barnard as he slyly lays the clues that lead to his trademark surprise -- and poignant -- ending.

Download or read book Butter written by Anne Panning and published by Northern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Panning's fiction has been described as warm and original by Publishers Weekly, intelligent and humorous by the Boston Globe, graceful and wry by Booklist, and infectious and enchanting by the New York Times. In fact, Panning's last collection of short stories, Super America, was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Enter this exciting new novel, the best work yet from a writer whose astute observations of American life are as honest as they are engaging. Butter is a coming of age tale set against the backdrop of small-town Minnesota during the 1970s and told from the perspective of an eleven-year-old girl, Iris, who learns from her parents that she is adopted. The story of Iris's childhood is at first beguiling and innocent: hers is a world filled with bell-bottoms and Barbie dolls, Shrinky Dinks and Shaun Cassidy records, TV dinners and trips to grandma's. But as her parents' marriage starts to unravel, Iris grows more and more observant of disintegration all around her, and the simple cadences of her story quickly attain an unnerving tension as she wavers precariously between girlhood and adolescence. In the end, Iris's story represents a profound meditation on growing up estranged in small town America—on being an outsider in a world increasingly averse to them. Passionate, lyrical, and disquieting, this intensely moving novel is a rich exploration of a crucial theme in American literature that will confirm Anne Panning's place as a major figure in the world of contemporary fiction.
