Like Only Yesterday: The Memoirs of Donald E. Noble

Like Only Yesterday is Donald E. Noble's story of growing up in a country wracked by the Great Depression and his struggle to get a college education against great odds. To overcome perceived handicaps, Noble developed a personal code that led him to work twenty percent more than his peers throughout his business career. A nostalgic look back at a vanishing America--a largely rural country of farms and close-knit families--this book is also a tribute to the free enterprise system by a man who started as a bank messenger and through hard work and perseverance rose to head one of America's most admired corporations. Noble details the phenomenal growth of Rubbermaid Incorporated and the philosophy and principles that fueled that growth. More than one man's life story, it is a handbook for young managers that is filled with practical, commonsense advice on how to succeed in business by really trying.
