Bücher von Robert W. Topping

Based on extensive interviews and archival research, this book traces the career of Orville Redenbacher, the 'popcorn king', from his agricultural studies at Purdue University to his emergence as an American advertising icon. It paints a fascinating picture of a deeply serious agricultural pioneer and marketing genius, whose image can still be found in almost every North American home.

This biography details Hovde's life and times from his birth at Erie, Pennsylvania, through his boyhood at Devils Lake, North Dakota, and includes his student days at the University of Minnesota and in England and Europe as a Rhodes scholar. In addition, it outlines his career from the time he returned to the United States in 1932.
