Editorial Reviews
In assembling data the most authoritative sources wcro sought out, and tho facts wherever possible verified by thme who are in a position to pass upon the material. If my errors have crept into the volume, they are the errors of thc source and not of the writing. In the preparation of this oxhaustivc study of men, the author wishes to acknotvledge the assistance of Mr. AIfred E. Keet, ass ciatc e ditar of the FORUM lfa ga zine, whose careful and studious collaboratio and research have been of valuable assistance, and contribute to the accuracy of the etorics of thcsc, our Boys, these nre stories of boys, perhaps like your selves - young, ambitious, full of grit md anxious to make of your lives o success, both in earning money, building a business, and gaining honor and prestige among your fellows. Success is a hard road, as you will learn in reading of the struggles, obstacIes overcome, disappintments nnd unremitting devot. ion to their ambition of these They did not live joyless lives they found pleasure in their work, btcwse they loved their work nnd hoped to get on in the world. I n preparing these stories I have chosen mostly boys in different lines of work, all of whom succeeded in the business world, so that whab ever is your bent you may find holp nnd inspiration in the success of some other boy who commenced at the bottom nnd worked, round by round, to the top. The conditions in the business world of to-day are not quite the same as they were when these boys were young. But remember, tho principles of success - the persistency of purpose, the zeal for hard work and the necessity of putting in it your love of it, and your energy for it - are the same. The opportunity is as great twdny. The undeveloped resources of this grcat country are calling for boys with brains and ambition. Science has opened up new fields, tho increasing population is offcring larger markets, and our broadening trade, oxtending into all parts of the world, beckons the boys of to-day to prepare themselves for the tasks and opportunities that await them. This is a grcat country, the country of gentcst opportunity a country that provides education in evcrj vocation and jobs and ownership and control await tile boys who arc fit and who make the fight for success. What others hare done, you can do - never forget that - and make your life a success by beginning early and never letting up until recognition and compensntion are yours, by the work wrought by your own hands and bmins.
