Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to his Son by George Horace Lorimer

This volume contains is the a series of letters between an American self-made millionaire and his son who is just entering the family business. Dating back to the 1890s, the letters contain timeless advice and words of wisdom that are as useful today as when first written. "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son" is highly recommended for anyone involved in business and not to be missed by young entrepreneurs. 

The letters date back to the 1890s but feel like they could have been written in any era. Honest. Genuine. Packed with good advice. Chesterfield wrote his letters to his illegitimate son, tutoring him on how to learn, how to think, how to act, how to deal with important people. I don’t agree with all his advice but most of it is great.
