wanted to of this sort of life. In 1892
was rather pleased to receive the notice
and wrote at once all the information
required, sending at the same time to

AMERICAS SUCCESSFUL MEN.
1.-The New York Tribune announces
that it is now revising and will during
1894 republish in enlarged, permanent
and especially handsome form, with the
addition of valuable new matter, its ex-
elusive copyrighted list of persons in the
United States whose fortunes amount to
a million or more.
THE original list was published in
The Tribune in the early summer of
1892. 1t is the only one of the kind ever
compiled in this country and was the
product of large expense and year and
a half of unremitting investigation. 1t
,n1 1s,,,,
priced and popular form as one number
of The Tribune Monthly and it has
had and still continues to have a good
sale in all parts of the United States
The original object of the compilation
was political one-namely, to estab-
lish the part played by the protective
tariff in the accumulation of American
fortunes. But widespread interest has
been developed in the social and finan-
cial bearings of the list, and The Trib-
une has now determined to revise it,
make any needed changes and reprint it
in anew, expensive and expanded form as
a souvenir of the millionaires of Amer
lea, embracing, in addition, as far as pos
sible, the principal millionaires of for
eign lands.
I'm the new volume the names will
be grouped by countries, states and cit
les. In each city they will be arranged
in strict alphabetical order, and there
will be complete index of the whole
list in the last part of the book. Occu-
pations, postoffice addresses, street ad-
dresses, the origin of the various for
tunes and short biographical sketch
will be presented in each case. In addi-
ton, the book will contain special chap
tiers on the great fortunes of the British
isles, France, Spain, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Russia and other prosperous for
eign nations
THE book will be printed as large
octave, III sumptuous style, on rich and
handsome paper, with broad margins
and expensive binding. 1t will contain
many portraits. The intention is to
spare no reasonable expense to make the
volume unique, elegant and of perma-
nent value. The book will be handsome
ly bound in cloth, with leather back,
and will be sold at $40 copy.
THE fine appearance, practical shape
and exclusive nature of the contents
will make this volume an extraordinary
publication.
1.-THE Tribune will print in this vol.
ume portraits and extended biographies
of many of the men of high financial
position who are catalogued in this list.
''This work is intended to be both
directory and a souvenir of the wealth
amassers of the United States and the
world. In the case of many millionaires
now deceased their memory will be per-
petuated in this volume by the insertion
of good portraits and sketches of their
careers and life work.
This book will be unique because no
one will be catalogued in its pages who
does not rank as millionaire. All 9TH
ers are excluded 1t will go into the H.
braries of financiers and men of wealth
over the whole world. Millionaires who
have been mentioned in this list have
found it of great advantage because il
has brought them the first information
of the best opportunities for investment
In the United States. 1t has often re
suited also in giving them the earliest
tidings of important new enterprises,
which, as affecting the advancement of
their interests, they need to be appraised

IAN order for copy of the work when
issued is solicited Very respectfully,

Business Superintendent.
i thought at first that by placing my
name ON this list l would at once be-
come a member of the best society and
one of the American nobility, thus unit
ing with an exclusive set Of people and
virtually shutting out the poor people
with whom had grown up.
/ naturally wished to rid myself of
those who, now that l had secured
position among the wealthy, were an
noying to me and liable to drop in on
me at most any moment while social
favorites were visiting at our house.
You can have no idea, unless you have
been through it, how annoying it is to
have old neighbors of the middle class
