Hickory Then & Now
Hickory
Author: Palmer Brown
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 1590176278
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A grandfather clock makes a lovely home for a family of mice—if you don’t mind the occasional clang. And here Hickory lives with his parents, his brother, Dickory, and his sister, Dock. But Hickory is a restless, fearless mouse, and he longs to be on the move, to breathe the sweet air and nibble on the wild strawberries of the fields. So one day in early spring, with the smells of honeysuckle and clover guiding him, he strikes out on his own. Soon he discovers that a meadow can be a lonely place, even with all its beetles and caterpillars. It’s not until Hop the grasshopper comes around that Hickory finds a true companion. Hop warns him, though, that when the days get shorter and the goldenrod begins to fade, the “song she sings will soon be done.” How Hickory and Hop confront and eventually accept the end of summer forms the core of Palmer Brown’s poignant story. Hickory is a story of friendship and love on par with Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree or E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. It is also a field guide to the common plants and flowers of spring, summer, and autumn, all beautifully rendered in Palmer Brown’s most colorful and joyous drawings.

Pages : 166
Book Description
In 1965, the Furniture Factories Marketing Association attempted to corral both the High Point and Hickory markets into opening at the same time in order to give no buyer an advantage on the new styles. Instead of encompassing two weekends by starting early and finishing late, the group of manufacturers in the association, set a firm April Monday morning in 1965 as the start of the spring market. High Point adhered. Both the Hickory Furniture Mart and the Hickory Home Furnishings Mart, stayed with the old schedule.

Book Description
I wanted to write this book, not as a biography but as means of sharing my life experiences so that people can see how I have been successful and hope it will be beneficial to them. As detailed, I have practiced and applied various thoughts that I have learned from my years in business. I used simple phrases to develop my business such as, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again," and also things like you can "figure it out with a hard pencil."I was blessed early in my life with a loving and caring family. A lot of people would say that my upbringing was strict. I would say not. I learned early in life that you had to work and I did not mind working and I thought everybody did it. My mother was a great inspiration and gave me the drive to succeed. She believed that education was what makes a difference. I never missed a day in school for twelve years. It was always a given that I would go to the university. I was fortunate to fall in love early with my wife Lynn and enjoyed 59 years of marriage. After my degree in business at UNC-Chapel Hill and my service as a naval officer, I was on my own and never worked for anyone. I started a business, encountered a lot of problems. I learned from the start and spent my life making things better, all the time learning and applying. This book, entitled "Win-Win" explains my business philosophy. At the end of the day what we need to succeed is to win-win.G. Leroy Lail, June 2020
