Sock Monkeys Dee Lindner

In a work world where one seemingly has to schmooze or lose, we relish special insights into the key for success. In Sock Monkeys: How to Sockceed in Business, colorful action-oriented photographs of charming red-heel sock monkeys complement each witticism doing what they do best-making us smile with their humor-filled parody of the business world. We often admire those who 'sockceed' and wonder how they've reached the top of the heap. Do they have a secret formula? Special charisma? Inside information? Our iconic sock monkeys have plenty to say about the climb to the top. A surprise ending awaits those who submerse themselves in this sockastic compelling page-turner and dare to go all the way. No fair peeking! How to Sockceed in Business is a tribute to Ray "RC" Peterson (1917-2014), a businessman and friend who, beginning in 1938, held various positions with the Nelson Knitting Company-the Rockford, Illinois manufacturer of the famed red-heel socks that became the sunny smiles and red bums of America's beloved sock monkeys. He climbed the corporate ladder and became the last President of the Company in 1957. Included in this keepsake for all to enjoy, a memo from Ray, also known as the "Monkey Man," is shared on his Nelson Knitting Company letterhead about the Red-heel Sock Monkey Tradition. The workforce-at-large, graduates, and anyone who needs a refresher course about good (or bad) business sense sock monkey style will delight in this cute and collectible quality keepsake-for who hasn't heard of sock monkeys!
