Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fortunes Made in Business, Vol. 1: A Series of Original Sketches, Biographical and Anecdotic, From the Recent History of Industry and Commerce When Aladdin rubbed his Wonderful Lamp (so we are told in the Arabian Nights´ Entertainments) he summoned a powerful genie, who obeyed his every behest, and was able to lay at his feet all the good things which this world can command. The old Eastern story was a sort of prophetic mirror of many romantic incidents in the Modern Biography of Industry and Commerce. In Current Literature few things have a greater charm to busy men than any trustworthy record of successful enterprise, especially when the story bears upon yesterday or to-day. No wonder that it is so. Now, perhaps, more than ever, calm, well-directed effort and scientific insight; indomitable pluck and that ready resolution which knows when to seize the moment of fortune - are the grand characteristics which give power to win a prize in the arena of modern competition.
