Excerpt from On the Road to Riches: Hints for Clerks and Young Business Men on Buying and Selling Goods; Selling Goods on the Road; Business Correspondence: Drumming; Duties of Clerks; Partners, Etc

Those of us who have passed the mile-stones that mark the early roads of business, often fancy that a bit of our experience might be of some value to the young who are just starting out on that thoroughfare. And while we do not believe that we can lay down a chart which will invariably lead to success, we do think that our own mistakes, and the mistakes we have seen oth ers make, ought to be of benefit to those who are tread ing in our steps.

Excerpt from On the Road to Riches: Hints for Clerks and Young Business Men on Buying and Selling Goods; Selling Goods on the Road; Business Correspondence: Drumming; Duties of Clerks; Partners, Etc

The following pages have been written with the single purpose of helping onward on his way towards success the young man just starting on a business career. There has been no attempt at fine writing, nor has the author endeavored to push any pet theories of his own. The daily routine at the desk, behind the counter, buying and selling, etc., has been pictured as it actually is, and such rules laid down for the young man's guidance as a long business experience has shown to be wise. The critics most dreaded were the business men, whose experience would show them at a glance whether the principles here inculcated were judicious or otherwise, but the words of cheer I have received from this class lead me to think that my work will benefit those whom I most desire to assist; if this be so, I shall be well satisfied.
