About the Author

In this book, I have given the actual experiences of my own life. I thought in putting it in this form it might be of some inspiration to struggling men and women.
In this great, free land of ours, every person, no matter how humble or how great seems the handicap, by industry and saving, can reach a position of independence and be of service to mankind.
