Today he is the chairman and chief executive officer of the largest supplier of men's fine-tailored clothing in North America, and is considered an outstanding business and community leader, at the forefront of policy-making in Canada's apparel industry, with commitments to philanthropic efforts that echo his business accomplishments. In My Peerless Story, Segal recounts how he learned business from the collar down and from the ground up, transforming a family-owned business into one that would eventually come to license labels such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Michael Kors. Sharing anecdotes and personal experiences, Segal describes the history of garment manufacturing in Montreal and his intuitive strategies to leverage growth by improving fabrics, and adapting to innovative changes in the industry, eventually becoming the main inventory source of designer label suits to major department stores. Written from the heart, not a as handbook but rather as the story of a well-suited business career, My Peerless Story nonetheless includes relevant business lessons for the aspiring and inspired."-- |cProvided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Segal, Alvin Cramer,|d1933-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n2017072588 600 15 Segal, Alvin Cramer,|d1933- 610 20 Peerless Clothing (Firm)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2017072599|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 610 25 Peerless Clothing (Firm)|xHistory. 610 26 Peerless Clothing (Firme)|xHistoire. 650 0 Men's clothing industry|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85083596|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Tailoring|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85131950|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Jewish businesspeople|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh86002350|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007233-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Businesspeople|zCanada|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009118100 650 0 Success in business.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85129589 650 7 Men's clothing industry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1016076 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Tailoring.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1142078 650 7 Jewish businesspeople.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /982678 650 7 Businesspeople.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/842980 650 7 Success in business.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1137062 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919894 776 08 |iPrint version:|tMy Peerless story.|kFootprints series |kFootprints series ;|w(CaOONL)20179011626 830 0 Footprints (Cheltenham, England) ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2003026733|v24. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1538019|zOnline eBook.
