Elbert Hubbard, an eminent American philosopher, artist, and publisher, was born in Bloomington, Illinois, on June 19, 1856. His full name was Elbert Green Hubbard and was often referred to as the ‘Father of Marketing’ by many folks. He decided to become a novelist in the eighties and published three novels. After this success, he decided to start his print shop, ‘Roycroft Press’ and got massive recognition from the media after its inauguration. Little did he know that this print shop would soon become the foundation of his tremendous success. Despite his passion for marketing and sales, his literary attachment never faded away, and hence, Elbert Hubbard quotes continue to inspire many even today.
His inspirational essay ‘Message to Gracia’ was highly appreciated and gained immense popularity. It was later converted into two movies: The Silent Movie- ‘A Message to Garcia’ (In 1916) and another movie- ‘A Message to Garcia’ (In 1936). His writings were an amalgamation of radicalism and conservatism and allured many artists, admirers, and pilgrims worldwide. He has written six novels and hundreds of biographical essays in his career. He went to heavenly abode in 1915, when the ship carrying him and his wife was torpedoed and sunk by the German ship.
