Paul Vincent Galvin was Chairman of the Board of Motorola, Inc. & one of the most dynamic leaders on the American business scene. THE FOUNDER'S TOUCH is the exciting account of a vast business built from scratch, the story of a man whose life reflected the changing world of the twentieth century. Like Edison, Ford, & Firestone, among others, Galvin could not be contained by the limited horizons of his small midwestern hometown. In 1923, he moved to Chicago to manufacture storage batteries with his brother Joe. A new American society was forming; industry had grown & was growing still. On the wave of radio's popularity, Galvin's small manufacturing company enjoyed a mild success. His limitless energy demanded new outlets, & with his brother & talented associates he developed a radio that could be used in the new motorcars appearing on the highway. Galvin's achievements & the expansion that followed World War II tell the story of Motorola. Galvin's faith in himself & his product earned him the respect of his customers & the loyalty of his employees. His life story is a reflection of America in the twentieth century, a life bound to that giant corporation which still retains "the Galvin touch." No library descriptions found. |
