Herbert Hoover is known for his many different public roles, given that apart from being good in politics, he was also a successful engineer and businessman - truly a man that knew how to fit in in all areas of life. He served as the 31st President of the United States from the years 1929 to 1933, which sadly for him, was at the time of the Great Depression.
He was a member of the Republican Party, and he served as secretary of commerce in 1920, where he introduced the themes of business efficiency in the American business community. He provided full governmental support for the standardization of trade and logistical efficiency. However, as president, his role in leading the country got overshadowed by the onset of the Great Depression.
