Publisher Marketing: Sam "the Alchemist" Proler created his American Dream from nothing more than ambition, sweat, and chutzpah-and this is his story. Born to poor, newly immigrated parents in 1917, Proler is a first-generation American who made the most of the opportunities he found and created. With only an eighth-grade education, he became one of the best-known twentieth century entrepreneurs and inventors in his field. At twelve, he helped his father in the family's backyard junk business. Soon, the motivated teen parlayed that into the foundation of his future empire. By his eighteenth birthday, he was running the business. Over the next forty years, his vision became Proler Steel, with associated plants all over the world. Sam Proler's inventions and processes, copyrighted, trademarked, and patented, revolutionized the entire steel industry starting in 1955. Some of his processes are still used to this day. These memoirs are also about Sammy Proler, the family man. After retirement, Sammy the father, grandfather, and great-grandfather has devoted the rest of his life to his wife and large family. He insists that his grand- and great-grandkids call him "Sammy," so they could always enjoy life with him as their friend. "Caution: You're About to be Prolerized! shares not only Sam Proler's life, but also his philosophy. Feel free to laugh and cry as you experience his mysterious aura, and you become Prolerized!
