Oscar Hogrelius.
Among the foremost builders in
the Woodcliff section is Oscar
Hogrelius. Although in business
only a few years, he has erected
numerous buildings, and has prac-
tically built up the whole length of
29th Street, Woodcliff. He special-
ized in cozy residential dwellings,
for which that section is so well
known. He has, however, of late
erected two large, beautiful apart-
ment houses on 28th Street. Mr.
Hogrelius built the Church of In-
tercession in New York. He is one
127
of the most successful contractors
and builders in the northern part
of the county. He is thorough in
every detail, energetic, and practical
in carrying out his contracts, and
prompt in all he undertakes. His
splendid foresight, integrity, and
sound judgment, and his capacity
for business has brought him into
more than local prominence. As
his business has always occ.upied
his full time, he has never affiliated
himself with any political or frater-
nal organization.' He takes a great
interest in church work, and is, na-
turally, much interested in civic
work.
Mr. Hogrelius was born in Swe-
den, January 25th, 1865. There he
received his early education and
later learned his trade. In 1899 he
immigrated to this country, and
settled in New York, later moving
to Woodcliff, where he soon after
engaged in business for himself.
In 1906 he married Edith Olson,
with whom he has one son, Olaf .
Dessa rader är ur en bok vilken kom ut för många år sedan i USA. Den handlar
i korthet om alla de mest dugliga invandrarna just i "svenskbygderna"!
Men det är inte detta jag skall skriva om utan det ska handla om den stora kulturgärning Google gör.
De skannar miljoner böcker ,allt som har kommit ut på engelska! Sverige och Europa har sagt nej till detta projekt.
Förlagen är så sugna på pengar så de vill inte ställa upp med den betalning som Google anser sig kunna betala.
Att snikenheten förstör så mycket är sorgligt. Ingen tror att någon skulle enbart läsa böcker här på internet.
Författareförbundets ordförande i vårt land ville att sverige skulle låta Google få skanna här också.
Förlagen är liksom skivindustrin förblindade och ser inte de möjligheter internet kan erbjuda.
De är med andra ord reaktionära!
