Excerpt from Pearls and Pearling

A few years ago I temporarily set aside my work as a salesman to hunt for pearls on the Illinois River.

The work in the pure air and sunshine; and the ever present hope of finding valuable pearls, were so fascinating I did not like to leave the occupation, so I continued with the work and studied most of the subjects relating to it.

Desiring to prepare for the business in a very thorough manner I tried to purchase a book upon the subject, but none was printed. There has been a general demand for information on pearl hunting and, at the request of the Fur News Publishing Company, I have written, this book, which I hope will prove of value to my fellow-men.

It is intended especially for pearl hunters and those who contemplate entering the profession, although I shall be pleased if it is of interest to jewelers and lovers of pearls in general.

My aim has been to explain all parts of the work so thoroughly that one entirely unacquainted will after reading this book, not only understand the methods and appliances, but be able to hunt for pearls successfully.
