    Who is Elbert Hubbard? I like the fact you put the tractor with this particular quote. The related post about Ford making a statement on GM bankruptcy is a hoot. I always look how wordpress does that. Some of them are such cool pairings.

      About Elbert Hubbard
      Elbert Hubbard, the successful American writer, printer, and businessman, is best known for his inspirational essay, “A Message to Garcia.” He was born in Illinois in 1856. He retired at age 35 from a successful job selling soap to found Roycroft, an artist’s colony in East Aurora, New York, where he wrote and printed his own books and magazines while other artisans created Arts and Crafts furniture. He died on the ship Lusitania when it was sunk by a German submarine in 1915.

      Thanks, Leslie! It is kinda cool when stuff comes together like that. **grin**
