This is a 2017 businessman. He is casually-dressed, sharp-thinking, hard-working, dedicated to "making it." | Source
businessman seen so frequently in bigger cities of America in 2017. He is every businessman and at the same time, his own man. He can be a loner, a free thinker, but with a hard-driving desire to succeed even if people get their feelings hurt. No fowl! Even his grandpa now retired and living easily on his stock options and highly-lucrative stock investments had to make cold decisions to get food on his bride's table and kids.
Grandpa sometimes stares from his bay window watching his prize dogs playing in his huge front yard that takes a team of gardeners to keep it manicured. This is success, young people. It was for grandpa's time when youth was afire. Even with the teeming men just like the guy in the above photo, he is focused, ready to work hours of overtime to get one more successful client that no one in the company could land. This is success, young people.
Here he is. Grandpa now retired. Successful was his middle name. He never said no to working a few days before heading home. He knows the in's and out's of big business. | Source
did not have an artist's conception of grandpa now retired as I wrote in the first of my piece. Isn't this man distinguished? Even his suits are sharp as knives just like the creases in this dress pants. In the beginning when this now-C.E.O. was a young man fresh out of college, he had a dream and went for it. Not allowing others form his thinking or wilt down his fiery opinion of himself. He told his dad that he was a man's man and look at him now.
Sure it took this stately-looking man many years of hard work to get up each rung of the "ladder of success," but as his best buddy in college told him, "we are gonna be big, Bob. You just watch us," and "Bob" listened. Sad though that his best friend, "Hal," died of a cardiac arrest from working himself to death starting in the mail room, but as grandpa the C.E.O. thought many times, "that's the breaks when you are a 1950s successful business executive."

us to talk in length about what it was like when the 1950s businessmen "ruled the roost," while their wives were taught from early girlhood to keep the house, cook the meals and take care of the children. Sure this is making some sensitive-minded liberal females, but the businessmen of the 1950s were men right down to the core. From their unfiltered cigarette-smoking (in every business in town) to a few hard drinks with the guys when 5 p.m. came around.
Women in this grand era were not of liberation status. Yet. But as the 1950s were not only prospering, but fading with each day as the sun went down. But make no never mind to the businessmen of the 1950s. These guys were at work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the overtime it took to get the job done. These were tough men in how they talked tossing in a few salty words in the private gym locker rooms they belonged to as well as in the backyard grilling steaks with "Tony"and "Judy" their next door neighbors who were always in awe of this 1950s businessman and his lovely wife.
Where were the children? The "Billy's" and "Pamela's" were not yet born because the successful businessmen of this timeframe had made a social decision to not have children until "he" had a good foot hold inside his company which meant more money, responsibility, and plenty of credit in the business sector.
What a doll! Isn't she sharp? Even the ads in the prosperous 1950s matched how the pretty women appeared in the ads. | Source
that this woman who appears in a certain big soda company is dressed almost in a risqué fashion because no lady worth her household would dare show this much leg in the 1950s. But this was the time when the husbands dressed in suits and shined shoes tapped the office floors and sidewalks to pound home the success found for a new business to start up in towns like New York City or Los Angeles, California.
"Notice the guy (above) and his arched eyebrows. This is a dead give-away that tells his friends and coworkers that he is a man of respect, means, and to be looked upon as a powerful and successful. All because of the arched eyebrows."

"Cowboy," "Sport," and "Pal": these nick-names were said by the 1950s businessmen when they did not have time to learn the young men's real names who worked part-time in their offices, but just never made the effort to go upward like their dad's and grandpa's.
"Spark me, buddy": this remark was made by two guys in the office who smoked and I mean smoked without bridling their nicotine urges. Instead of saying, "Give me a light, will ya?" some of these sharp-thinkers in the office would wink and say "Spark me, buddy," and both would head to their office for coffee, a late afternoon drink of whiskey or vodka and then to the club for more drinks with their clients celebrating a successful relationship with their wives and then home to the devoted wives.
"Get after it": was a commonly-said phrase by office managers who would say to newbies in the office something similar to this phrase which meant for them to get fired up and get the business to sign with them or else.
"Getting the boot": was another way to tell a hard-working guy who just couldn't handle the stress that he was fired. Yes, this was a cold gesture, but it was true.
"Check her out": every woman reader should know that 1950s businessmen would softly say this to a male coworker about some pretty secretary that they had not seen in the office.
"What's for grub, hunee?": of course, when the 1950s businessmen were not having after-office drinks at the club with clients, the husbands being tired and hungry would call ahead to see what their lovely wife was preparing for dinner.
"Hey, sport," my name is "Bill," I love to have my photo snapped that is when I can stop long enough to be still. You see. I am a man on the go. I see many clients in meetings in my company each day that is sent. From 9 to 5, Monday through Friday, I have to get the job done no matter how tough the road may be. I am a 1950s businessman and I need to share a few things about my 1950s businessmen and my friends:
I get up around 6:30 in the morning. I take a shower, shave, and slap on the sharp-smelling after-shave. I have to look and smell great for when I look and smell great, I will do great things. I know it. Just ask my office manager, "Jim," he told me just last week that he likes my after-shave and winked. That can only mean one thing: I am on the way up.
My lovely wife, "Carlene" and I have been married over ten happy years. We married just after I graduated from college. "Carlene" was the top student of her sorority and was Cuma Sum Laude in English. I am a lucky guy to have a doll like her cleaning, cooking, and dong the marketing. Yes, sir. I am pretty lucky.
I like my usual breakfast consisting of two eggs over easy, two slices of bacon, one piece of buttered toast, black coffee and orange juice--fresh, not that stuff my wife gets in the supermarket. While I am eating with "Carlene," she enjoys her meal while I eat and read the daily paper at the same time. Hey, I have to be able to do more than one task at every waking time when people all know that I am a 1950s businessman.
I get behind the wheel of my almost-new Chrysler, four door, air conditioned, and looks neat, sport. I wave at the wife, check my hair in the rear view mirror and in fifteen minutes I drive downtown to my company that was established in the early 1930s by a duo of hard-working brothers and now the company has just opened its tenth office on the Eastward Seaboard.
When I get off of my elevator, I walk to my office on the third floor, speak to "Martha," a sharp-looking gal who is my "girl Friday," she takes care of my heavy appointments, meetings and when my wife's birthday and anniversary is near and always reminds me that it's time for me to fork out a few hundred bucks to make "Carlene" happy. That's the way when you are man in the successful 1950s when American business was really booming.
"Tom," my best buddy, and golfing partner, pops into my office and we catch up on the latest office gossip (including what "Martha" is wearing, man oh man), smoke an unfiltered cigarette and slip ourselves a "morning pick-me-up" made from an ounce or two of good Kentucky bourbon. Yes, us 1950s businessmen have a social agreement that us men, the "bread winners" are entitled for an early morning nip.
And after a two-hour lunch with my office pals, we get back to the office and we take off early to play a round or two of golf with a couple of new business clients who love to drink cold beer found on their golf carts and by six p.m., we are all about bagged with all of the whiskey and beer we all have consumed, but it was worth it. The new clients gladly signed with us and only God knows what they signed as well as us, but like I said, my "girl Friday," shapely "Martha,' a newlywed has taken charge of what I signed and she said I was okay.
bring back a lot of good memories for you? I know that most of you men are now happily retired and married and why shouldn't you be happy? You earned every minute of it. Hey, just take a good, long look at the businessman of the 1950s below and see how he is smartly-dressed from his hat to his briefcase that holds all of the "ammunition" he needs to impress a new business that he is to meet around 10 a.m.
I can only wonder now in 2017, when and where did the evolution of manly businessmen in the prosperous 1950s start to roll? I am honest. I was born in 1953 and where I was born in rural northwest Alabama and to us, there was no such thing as businessmen (who looked like the ones on this hub) like we knew in our home county. We were mostly a people of farmers and rural people with the exception of a few merchants who their dads and grandpa's handed over to when their sons had become experienced enough to "take the reins" of their businesses.
But those days are gone. I mean it. I cannot find one solitary hard-charging businessman such as the ones I have told you about in this hub. Oh, I see their counterparts in 2017 (see the guy at the very top of this story) with their designer sweaters with wives named "J.J.," and "Muffy," but in today's business fronts the wives are as much the breadwinner as their husbands.
Great hub, dear buddy. I never imagined businessmen to be this smart and work-lovers. Such an interesting hub and you've brought out so many details of this topic. Enjoyed reading it. :)
In light of my always giving long replies, I am going to give you something to think about concerning THIS hub.
"I guess that I have been reading too much from Dr. Hunter S. Thompson." Check out some of his essays.
Oh boy, my dear friend, Kenneth. I wondered what you'd been smoking until I got to the end. Very funny, indeed. Did these people ever exist? I'm a southerner, too, and we all asked "what's 9 to 5? If these people existed in the South, it must have been in Houston or Atlanta. In our little town, some of the "fine" merchants and insurance salesmen wore suits, but that was about all. Of course back then I wasn't around businessmen very much. My mom at one time worked for a congressman in his local office, but she gave that up for the "honor" of raising a family. Yep, those were the days, my friend.
Just to let you know, you've entered into Extreme Hub Makeover. This is one place where you can place links of Hubs you checked out.
When you want to have a Hub YOU write criticized or critiqued, by others, you post a link in the Extreme Hub Makeover thread, so other Hubbers in the Community can give you advice.
Others will look them over and see if they can help you, or see if there is something wrong, that might work against you. It's always wise to have others who are more experienced, show you the honest and best way forward.
This depends on your reason for being here. I am here to make money, but I am very active in the forums. Which, I recommend, because it's a huge upside in the long run.
The above seems short? But, then again, I'm not as experienced as others. Who will be along shortly. This Hub appears to be written in one capsule. You might consider 2 or 3 more capsules. Advertising spaces is in between capsules. I've noticed.
This one is also very too short. Plus, it's bland, there isn't anything else. I don't think you have a enough keywords? I've been told that between 9-15 keywords is good.
I found both to be interesting. I must agree with cagsil on the layout and length of them. I believe that the hubpage veterans recomend that your content should be 800 to 1500 words.
Thanks so much Cagsil for being so understanding and explaining this to me. I have been frequenting the forums and trying to jump in now and then.
I was just in some forum where you recommend the hub on top. I left it for awhile and I guess I thought that's where I had returned too.
Anyways, thanks again. I wish I could delete it but I can't. Hopefully, just writing this will clear up any gray areas.
Welcome to HubPages, BPO I found your one article BPO in great form! only thing wrong is maybe need a little more tags add , business, professional development or some such sort. Great job!
Welcome to HubPages, Sage I found your latest article in excellent form and give you a A++. I would also add coping mechanism, self development and psychology to your tags fantastic job!
Thanks so much, I was afraid to post it here after I screwed up with my first post. I will definitely add those tags. Thanks for your comment and excellent suggestions.
They ask me to fix it and I fix it; then they ask me to fix it again ad I fix it again; repeat five times now and I have no idea what they want. The emails are SO VAGUE and I'm sick of trying to guess what's triggering the filter. Any ideas would be much...
Are you ready to discover some little lost locutions, (better known as weird words that have rarely seen the light of day)?
Perhaps the best way to honor these wonderful words is to drop them into casual conversation, to spice up a terse text message, or to slip them unobtrusively into a peripatetic piece of poetry.

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is one of the best selling cars -- toy and real -- ever! The Cozy Coupe is also a grandparent's best kept secret, or a least THIS grandparent's. I have written several toy reviews based on my own experiences with my 7 grandchildren, now I want to share this ride on toy that will make your home the "fun place to be". I purchased the Cozy Coupe you see here at a garage sale about 7 or 8 years ago and it has consistently been the toy that my grands love to play with when they are visiting.
When the kids were toddlers, we usually had to help them "ride" in the car because they could not quite grasp the concept of using their feet to make it move along. As they got older, they enjoyed propelling the coupe around our large garage on their own steam. As the grandchild population grew, the older children enjoyed pushing the younger ones (see the images below!) on our cul-de-sac in the spring and summer. Did I mention that the Cozy Coupe is an ideal outdoor toy? Grandpa and I just need to be vigilant as we do live in a hilly neighborhood. A Cozy Coupe has no brakes and our grandkids feet are not accustomed to stopping a coupe like Fred Flintstone did in the cartoon!
Yes, the kids have more current toy cars to ride at their own homes, but this classic coupe of ours is a perennial favorite.
According to my research and observation, the vintage Cozy Coupe I have is larger than the new ones that are being made today. If that is what you want, then perhaps eBay might have one for sale. Just remember that the older, used models of the coupe might not have all the safety features that are built into the new models.
The steering wheel on my Cozy Coupe does not actually turn the front wheels, either. The direction that the car goes in come from the feet of the driver. That can be a difficult concept for young toddlers to understand.
Who really knows why this toy car that looks like a cross between a VW beetle and Fred Flintstone's vehicle out sold the the Ford Taurus and the Honda Accord in 1998? Perhaps you can make a guess when you sign my guestbook at the bottom of this page.
The design for this red and yellow toy car was actually created by Jim Mariot who worked for Chrysler at one time during his career.
Little Tikes is based in Hudson, Ohio USA. The Cozy Coupe was first produced in Macedonia, Ohio, 12 miles away.
In 2009, the Cozy Coupe was added to the collection of Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum located in Cleveland, Ohio. One of the reasons the museum added the Cozy Coupe? In 2008 it outsold all automobiles in the US!
Like all things modern, the coupe you see below is updated with safety features and beefed up construction.
Updated version of the classic child's toy shown above. New features include removable floor and handle on back for parent controlled push rides. Wish mine had the handle! My back would have appreciated this feature.
Modern Cozy Coupe Ride-on toys for the children in your life: - A great out-door toy for the summertime!
The Cozy Coupe I have in my home is over 10 years old and is probably considered "vintage". My husband and grandchildren decorated our coupe with stickers. For the girls, we found some Disney Princesses; for the boys we used his race car decals that are on his own vehicles. Some duck tape in bright colors also found a home on the surface of this tiny car.
The current Little Tikes Cozy Coupes come in all colors and designs to match your child's interests or gender. You will not go wrong in making a purchase of this highly rated toy ride in car.
This truck has a built in push handle in the roof for parents! Great feature for parents of toddlers.
Pink and cozy for a little girl. One of my granddaughters got this for Christmas a few years ago. It even has a seat belt.
Good Reviews for the American Made Cozy Coupe: - Other parents and professionals sound out for this ride on toy!
You don't have to take my word for the desirability of this toy. Below you will find reviews found on Amazon and other websites that give favorable statements for the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe.
I believe that the Cozy Coupe I own is ideal for children who are toddlers (around 18 months) to age 4 years, depending on their size. Of course, older children love to supervise the younger ones who can fit inside of this iconic toy car.
From The Oppenheimer Toy Portfolio: We love that the front wheels really turn so that kids can steer in any direction.
Says Amazon user avidreader, "No music, noise, batteries needed, etc. So many of the other toys out there nowadays are just sensory overload with all the bells and whistles and music and lights. It's nice to have a change of pace where your child has to use his imagination to play."
From besttoysguide that lists the Cozy Coupe as an "Editor's Pick": "They [The Little Tikes Ride-ons} are made of very thick, durable plastic and are rugged enough to withstand years of use and exposure to the elements."
Little ones love books, or a least my little ones do. If a book is about a favorite toy, it can be the favorite on the book shelf.
It is said that the reason the Cozy Coupe is so popular is because children love doing anything that their Mom and Dad do--like driving a car!
Visit the Amazon website to see this classic, out of print, vintage board book. With any luck, there will be one in stock.
My 3 1/2 year old granddaughter discovered the "gas cap" on our coupe and delights in pretending to pump gas into her car so she can go to the store. She uses the air compressor nozzle (which is turned off, of course) to pump the "fuel". She thought of this all by herself. My grands are all "gifted" with vivid imaginations.
When I saw the pumping station on Amazon while doing research for this page, I was delighted. Just might get one of those accessories for the coupe next Christmas!
One of these pumpers needs a home in my garage. It even has a credit card swipe! It also makes sounds and needs batteries.
Parents and grandparents alike are welcome to share your opinions about the cozy coupe by Little Tikes. I must make one recommendation for readers, make sure that the children are at play on a relatively flat area. Little ones will find it difficult to stop a Cozy Coupe going down a hill. Supervision of children on any riding toy is preferred when they are too young to control it with out assistance.
Remember to do your research when searching for a toy for your family. You are, ultimately, the one responsible for their safety.

Before I discuss how dry cleaning works environmentally friendly, I will explain on why we should protect the environment.
We hear and read a lot about saving the earth through protecting the environment. Why should we give this matter attention while we are also facing other threatening issues like wars, economic crises, unending social problems?
The earth is our home, it is where we breathe, eat, live, raise our families, etc. Everything concerning our life support is dependent on how well the other species are. This is normally known as biosphere, a term created by Vladimir Vernadsky, a 1920s Russian scientist.
The sun provides heat and light for plant growth and development. These plants are food to animals that are in turn consumed by other animals or humans. Every part of the ecosystem plays a big role in the survival of entirety of the earth.
The biosphere is segmented into smaller sections that support life. It can be the rain forest, marine, tundra and the desert. All these are ecosystems that support the entire earth. They have great implication on the survival of the earth’s inhabitants.
It is critical to purpose to protect the environment since it’s the core of the earth existence. Man has devised ways to make his work easier and the same methods have challenged the environment. Man has invented some products that have ended up affecting the environment.
Some of those products are the ones used in the dry cleaning. For quite some time the cleaning industry has been using chemicals that have ended up bringing effects to the environment. However, drastic measures are always been taken to curb these.
Eco-friendly cleaners are one great milestone in protecting the earth. These types of cleaners are the ones that do not use chemicals that pollute the water system, air or the earth. This is very important, and it should be something that you ought to consider.
In the dry cleaning, harmful chemicals have been our solvents for a very long time. Obliviously, we have been using the dry cleaning products and machines that are harmful. Thanks to the research and technology. New safer methods have been devised to prevent further environmental pollution.
Nowadays, companies are offering green dry cleaning services due to the great call for environmental protection.
The dry cleaning machines are now coming with new technology that ensures all the chemicals are not exposed to the environment. The machines also are designed now to use eco –friendly chemicals, not the old hydrocarbon chemical, Perch.
The new design is encouraging a lot of people to look only for the environmentally friendly chemicals, therefore eliminating the harmful ones.
One of the main problems in the dry cleaning service is the use of Perc, it is harmful, although preferred because of its high ability to remove soil and debris clinging to garments.
Since most people insist on using this chemical called Perc, the new dry cleaning machines have a “closed-loop” system, which helps to prevent solvents used from being released to the environment during the process of cleaning. This chemical can be recycled and reused.
However, despite the efforts of technology to invent environmental friendly dry cleaning machine, pollution is still taking place. People are now trying to look for more eco-friendly solvents.
Industries producing these harmful chemicals are trying to appreciate the importance of having a shift to more safer and effective solvents.
Liquid carbon dioxide is a green solvent that is used as a pressurized liquid in place of Perc. Clothes are placed in a special dry cleaning machine. The liquid Co2 dissolves fats, oils and dirt in the clothes. After the end of the cleaning process, the liquid is pumped back to the tanks where it is reused again. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) endorses this method.
It is also referred to as the GreenEarth system, patented as Silicone D5 Solution. It uses a system similar to the conventional methods of dry cleaning. It is effective in removing fabric odors and stains. While there is still debate about the safety of the solvent, it is not yet classified as air contaminant or connected to any chronic health issue-hence becoming a renown green alternative.
This is more sophisticated method, garments are washed with water, special detergents and high efficient dry cleaning machines. The EPA recommends this method.
This is a system that has been popular in German. Kresussler created it, and he says that it is designed in a manner that does not pose risk to water, air, soil and human beings. The K4 is a recent method, and it should be available in different countries some years coming.
Another great way drying cleaning services can be done in a greener way is through recycling. If you are a responsible dry cleaner, recycling should be an essential activity you should consider.
Filtration, distillation, and drying are some of the methods used to prepare solvents for reuse. These processes are aimed at removing impurities. This ensures that the next round of garments are exposed to the same pure solvents as the first one.
The garments that remain unclaimed by the owners are taken to organizations that require charity. These clothes can spun to thousands. This is a good way of disposing these clothes instead of doing the unthinkable-burning.
As a dry cleaner, you can have this program of recycling used polyethylene bags. You can advise your customers to place the bags in a provided recycle bin. Remind them to remove staples and tags before placing in the bins. This way, everyone would feel he or she has participated in green dry cleaning.
It is possible to have a green drying cleaning service. Therefore, you can have a dry cleaning system that works environmentally friendly to you and all your surrounding.
Amazing story I heard on ABC news this evening. Plane missing and finally found. Pilots claim in heated discussion on company policy. (yeah right) Tower controllers could not get in contact with pilots.
Asleep? More likely. Makes me worry more about flying. There needs to be more safety guideline in place. Have read time after time about pilots complaining about not getting enough rest between flights.
dam lucky if you ask me, Auto Pilots depending on their maintence, calibration and up-keep are sometimes un-reliable, they really escaped a near disaster. Dam stupid move IMO
I have a cousin who works for the FAA and you really don't want to know all there is to keeping air travel safe. More money and man hours would be required and tax payers are strung out as it is. The industry plays the odds. They crunch the numbers and do what they can to keep the most safe. And believe me there are regulations that keep tight tabs on the airline industry. Again it is costly. And I do not mean to imply that anyones life is expendable.
Unfortunately I believe that the requirements to pilot an airline plane are not as strict as they once were. I remember when Peoples Express starter. Only military trained pilots were hired and we know what training the pilot had who safely landed that jet into the Hudson.
They have alot of fatigue these days. There is the constant expectation by the airlines to do way more for way less sleep due to the downturn in the economy. This makes for increasingly dangerous situations for both passengers and crew.
Also the post 9-11 procedures allow limited to no contact with the flight attendants during flight for security reasons to keeping the cockpit door secured during flight.
This is also not good for the pilots since we are not able to check on them as often any longer to see if they need coffee, are awake or need someone to chat with them to stay alert. During all nite red eye flights when I flew purser lead we checked on them every 20 mins with coffee and conversation to ensure they were awake. This is no longer the case and with the new heavy schedules and reduced sleep is going to spell a disaster in just a matter of time. Hopefully, the FAA and DOT will address these issues before we lose an entire aircraft due to pilot fatigue.
i have heard that things are so bad some pilots only make TEN DOLLARS AN HOUR...can you believe that?
See, there is terrorism that kept us out of the cockpit so the pilots can surf all the way to space with the passengers in tow!We must have a pilot watch dog group on board every flight!!!!
But they failed to answer any calls for over an hour which is strictly against FAA rules. They said they were concentrating on flight schedules so hard that they didn't hear any calls coming in.
Hmmm...very odd. They are either lying to cover up the fact that they fell asleep or they were working on something and purposely didn't hear the calls.
Your entire job as a pilot is to use communication devices and radar to guide you. Especially when the government is trying to get a hold of you! haha
I think this is the first real propfecy that people are taking as fact today. Even though there are many more prophecies that has already predicted the time of the end.
I have something to say, A lot of people I have heard attacked Northwest about this incident. It was the pilots fault and yes Northwest hired them but. This could happen to any airline and Northwest has strict rules for pilots about what they do or talk about in the cockpit.
You are right, it was the Pilots, not the Airline. I bet this did get the attention of a lot of Airlines though and hopefully they tightened up procedures while flying.
I do hope this as well, but I will add (i just thought of this) that pilots should be much more responsible and treat flying and those who are flying amongst them, with a VERY high level of safety. They should never think of flying as a walk in the park. I wanted to say that because I have noticed that some pilots although how ever much training they get they still fail to treat flying with a high level of safety.
Flying is super-safe man. Just because these pilots made some errors doesn't mean you should be afraid of flying.
Most of you have seen this YouTube video of a woman throwing a huge fit like a toddler. You might have seen it in the news, or read it in articles. When I saw this one, I laughed, but I feel for her. I wished that would have been at the same airport as her and done surrogate Emotional Freedom...
