DeGaris","description":"\u003cp\u003eEntrepreneur, aviator, publisher, publicist, propagandist, playwright, songwriter, motorist, land developer, dreamer: for five brief years it seemed like there was nothing Clement John DeGaris couldn't do. He'd inveigle your life savings out of you with a promise of doubling them in a year and then, when he lost them, he'd promise to reimburse you and you'd lend him some more to make it easier. He was dashing, patriotic, handsome, fearless and funny: men and women alike adored him. He'd put a second storey on Mildura, he said, with his marketing skills and tenacious work in the fruit, irrigation and land\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eindustries; he was going to build a new home afresh at Kendenup, Western Australia. Along the way, he wrote and sold books and plays, songs, suburbs and a host of other equally remarkable schemes. There seemed to be little that C. J. DeGaris couldn't achieve: he was a new kind of Australian man, modern, quick-witted, unflappable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760801658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760801656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Western Australia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.84d","brand":"David Nichols","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057261375743,"sku":"9781760801656","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_903a63fc-02e1-4c15-8edc-701d5ab05537.jpg?v=1685045950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-alert-grey-twinkling-eyes-david-nichols-9781760801656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
