Minor bumping to edges of dust jacket and chafing to covers. Heather Robertson, one of Canada's most original writers, uses a colourful palette of biography, social history, and business lore to pain an unforgettable portrait of a tycoon, his family, his company, and the dramatic effects of his product - the motor car - on the landscape and social mores of Canada. The McLaughlins of Oshawa, founders of General Motors of Canada, were as hard-working a family as ever thrived in the heady days of early industrial Canada.
