Excerpt from Addison Broadhurst, Master Merchant: The Intimate History of a Man Who Came Up From Failure

Since I mean to be truthful, I wish to conceal my identity under an assumed name. At times I shall of necessity subject myself to humiliation, and I shall lay bare secrets of my own and of others.

Excerpt from Addison Broadhurst, Master Merchant: The Intimate History of a Man Who Came Up From Failure

I have long had in mind the project of writing the true history of whatever business success I may have achieved. This purpose I have resolved at last to fulfill, although the undertaking comes near daunting me. For ten years I have delayed it because the affairs of my large business have pressed heavily. They are crowding me to-day more relentlessly than ever, but I shall not longer postpone a duty which I believe I owe to other men. My business education has been acquired at the cost of much labour and of mistakes that reduced me at times to despair. Through failure I have worked my way to what the world regards as a success, and I want no greater monument than to leave this record for the guidance of men who are blundering through business careers.

Since I mean to be truthful, I wish to conceal my identity under an assumed name. At times I shall of necessity subject myself to humiliation, and I shall lay bare secrets of my own and of others.
