Excerpt from The Successful Business Men of Newark, N. J How'to win this regal coronet and sceptre is the great theme that engages all minds.

There exists no Philosophofls Stone, but the secret is found in a ea reful study of the lives of our successful business men, and nowhere better illustrated than among the eminently successful business houses of the beautiful city of Newark.

Excerpt from Men of Business The road to success in business is not a nar row, hedged-in highway. It is not even one road, but many pathways, each of which may be followed across the great field of life, if entered by the type of human character adapted to it. The types are varied, and often they are blended.. Any profitable study of them, however, can be best performed by selecting a few distinct and marked examples. This has been attempted in a series of brief character sketches of eminently successful careers, each emphasizing some domi nant trait. It has been deemed well to employ the portraits of the living as well as of those whose work is finished. It is somewhat like a gallery, therefore, in which are presented like nesses of the warrior, the statesman, the diplo matist, the artist, the pioneer, the adventurer, the inventor, the explorer, the organizer, the foreseer, and other types of business men whose success is beyond dispute.

Excerpt from The Empire of Business Let me indicate two or three conditions essential to success. DO not be afraid that I am going to moralize, or inflict a homily upon you. I speak upon the subject only from the view Of a man Of the world. Desirous of aiding you to become successful business men. You all know that there is no genuine, praise worthy success in life if you are not honest, truthful, fair-dealing. I assume you are and will remain all these, and also that you are determined to live pure, respectable lives, free from pernicious or equivocal associations with one sex or the other. There is no creditable future for you else. Otherwise your learn ing and your advantages not only go for naught, but serve to accentuate your failure and your disgrace. I hope you will not take it amiss if I warn you against three Of the gravest dangers which will beset you in your upward path.

Excerpt from Successful Business-Men: Short Accounts of the Rise of Famous Firms The field is so wide - new firms every day pushing to the front, sometimes to the disadvantage of the old and long-standing, and in a manner which V1vidly illustrates the push and restless eagerness of the present century - that it has been found very difficult to select. Two ideas have, however, been, as we may say, guiding ones: First - to present various instances of success in different and contrasted industries; and, next, in no case to present alongside each other businesses which could in the most remote way be regarded as competing ones. If the wideness of the field has been felt to be Oppressive, in the sense of the limited View that in one such volume as the present can be taken of it, this compensatory reflection arises that if the public give the necessary encouragement, there is still an ample store to draw on for materials for further volumes. With regard to the illustrations in the volume, it may be well to explain that the original intention was to present portraits of the founders of the firms, the rise and progress of which have been traced; but it was found impossible to carry out this idea completely, owing to the fact that portraits of some of them were not in existence.
