"In this second of three volumes chronicling the travels and trials of Emma McChesney, the plucky heroine trades in her traveling bag and coach tickets for an office and a position as T. A. Buck Jr.'s business partner. Along with this well-earned promotion comes the home - with a fireplace - that she had long for during her ten years on the road." "Her son, Jock, now twenty-one, has just entered the business world himself with the Berg, Shriner Advertising Company. His colleagues believe that with his heritage he "ought to be able to sell ice to an eskimo." Indeed, Jock dazzles them with his keen business sense and exemplary work ethic, but goes overboard on the charm and ends up alienating clients, unnerving his boss, and even patronizing his business-savvy mother. When his company takes on the challenge of creating a zippy advertising campaign for T. A. Buck's no-frills petticoats, Jock come through, but not without a reminder that mother knows best." In this bracingly modern novel, first published in 1914, Ferber contrasts the virtues of talent with those of experience to provide a fresh, readable, and smartly entertaining contest between a mother and her adult son. Personality Plus is enchanced by the illustrations of James Montgomery Flagg, one the most highly regarded book illustrators of the period.
