Dating back to the 1890s, the letters contain timeless advice and words of wisdom that are as useful today as when first written. “Old Gorgon Graham - More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son” is highly recommended for anyone involved in business and not to be missed by young entrepreneurs. George Horace Lorimer (1867–1937) was an American author, journalist, and publisher most famous for being the editor of The Saturday Evening Post between 1899 and 1936. As editor, the paper's circulation rose from a few thousand to over a million. “The Letters from a Self-Made Merchant” was well known during the early 20th century and was the basis for the 1922 film “A Self-made Man” starring William Russell. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
