I don’t care how much or how little money you make-I want you to understand that there’s only one place in the world where you can live a happy life, and that’s inside your income. A family that’s living beyond its means is simply a business that’s losing money, and it’s bound to go smash.-from 'V: New York, December 8, 189-'Chicago pork magnate John Graham is a thorough success in business... except when it comes to his ne’er-do-well son Pierrepont, who never seems to need the end of his father’s no-nonsense advice on being a boss, being a husband, and being a man. This delightful 1904 book-a sequel to Lorimer’s 1901 Letters From a Self-Made Merchant to His Son-is ostensibly a work of fiction, taking the form of exasperated letters from Graham to his would-be protégé, but it’s still a genuine source of down-home counsel on how to hire family (carefully), how to drink on the job (don’t), when to apologize to a wife (always), and more.American journalist GEORGE HORACE LORIMER (1867-1937) was editor in chief of the Saturday Evening Post from 1899 to 1936, leading the magazine to the heights of its popularity. He is also the author of False Gods (1906).
