Excerpt from Letters From a Self-Made Merchant to His Son: Being the Letters Written by John Graham, Head of the House of Graham Company, Pork-Packers in Chicago, Familiarly Known on 'Change as "Old Gorgon Graham," to His Son, Pierrepont, Facetiously Known to His Intimates as "Piggy"
Dear Pierrepont: Your Ma got back safe this morning and she wants me to be sure to tell you not to over-study, and I want to tell you to be sure not to under-study. What we're really sending you to Harvard for is to get a little of the education that's so good and plenty there. When it's passed around you don't want to be bashful, but reach right out and take a big helping every time, for I want you to get your share. You'll find that education's about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw-driver lost.

Excerpt from Letters From a Self Made Merchant to His Son
"Young fellows come to me looking for jobs and telling me what a mean house they have been working for."; "Old Doc Hoover asked me right out in Sunday School if I didn't want to be saved."; "I have seen hundreds of boys go to Europe who didn't bring back a great deal except a few trunks of badly fitting clothes."; "I put Jim Durham on the road to introduce a new product."; "Old Dick Stover was the worst hand at procrastinating that I ever saw."; "Charlie Chase told me he was President of the Klondike Exploring, Gold Prospecting, and Immigration Company."; "Jim Donnelly, of the Donnelly Provision Company, came into my office with a fool grin on his fat face."; "Bill Budlong was always the last man to come up to the mourners' bench."; "Clarence looked to me like another of his father's bad breaks."
