A Philadelphia bank president left these talks for the boys he would never meet. Comegys covers how to win success, bad associates, and the case of the uneducated man, pausing to mourn President Garfield and to honor a friend's useful life. Sober, kindly counsel from the counting-house generation. The voice of a careful man who wanted young men to be careful too.
