Price 81 %.
This is good book to put into the hands
of boys for the purpose of teaching them
the fundamental principles of business.
Most boys grow into young men without
the slightest knowledge of business matters,
excepting mere buying and selling. The
very things that should have been taught
them in school at the same time with gram
mar and geography they know nothing
about, and while their heads may be stocked
with the rules of syntax and the names and
boundaries of all the countries in the world,
they may be helpless as babies in the trans
action of any business that requires the use
of forms or leg i methods. Mr.. Hopkins
i'll this book tells an interesting story and
sandwiches in between it's incidents just the
information boy needs.
