This book is a collection of letters preserved between Chicago's self-made millionaire Old Gorgon Graham and his soon-to-be-adult son who is about to enter the family business. These letters date back to the 1890s, but it feels like they could be written in any era. They are surprisingly stoic, honest and genuine.

Letters and More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son presents George Horace Lorimer's famous Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son and its lesser known but equally brilliant sequel, More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son. With his unique dry wit, Lorimer lampoons the attitudes of the newly moneyed classes of the Gilded Age - characters straight out of The Great Gatsby - in a series of fictional exchanges between John 'Old Gorgon' Graham, a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago, and his son, Pierrepont, whom he 'affectionately' calls 'Piggy.'

The Gorgon is reluctant but thinks there might be an opportunity for Piggy in the lard department...

This book is the preserved correspondence between Old Gorgon Graham, a self-made millionaire in Chicago, and his son who is coming of age and entering the family business. The letters date back to the 1890s but feel like they could have been written in any era. They are surprisingly stoic. Honest. Genuine. Packed with good advice. You rarely come across such first hand notes about basics of building a business.

George Horace Lorimer was an American writer and writer most popular as the supervisor of The Saturday Evening Post. During his publication rule, the Post rose from a course of a few thousand to over 1,000,000. He is credited with advancing or finding an enormous number of American authors like Jack London. Lorimer's Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son is an ageless assortment of Gilded Age truisms from a rich man - a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago to his child, Pierrepont, whom he 'tenderly' calls 'Piggy.' The composing is unobtrusive and splendid.

"Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off a hard one makes it impossible." George Horace Lorimer was an American journalist and author best known as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post. During his editorial reign, the Post rose from a circulation of several thousand to over a million. He is credited with promoting or discovering a large number of American writers like Jack London. Lorimer's Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son is a timeless collection of Gilded Age aphorisms from a rich man - a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago to his son, Pierrepont, whom he 'affectionately' calls 'Piggy.' The writing is subtle and brilliant. This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original.

Her struggling mother, grieving the death of Millie's father, leaves her in the big ladies' underwear department of a local store and never returns. United at this fateful moment with two octogenarians seekers, she embarks with them upon a road trip to find Millie's mother. Together they will discover that old age is not the same as death, that the young can be wise, and that letting yourself feel sad once in a while just might be the key to a happy life.
