Lorimer, George Horace Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son
Boston Small, Maynard and Co. 1902 2nd Edition Cloth Very Good No Jacket Gruger, F.R.; Justice, R. Martin
311 pp. Spine faded and spine titling very faint. One dime-sized rubbed spot mid spine. Front cover has dark red background, slightly worn white titling and 4 gilt pigs. Spine edges have light rubbing. Rear cover has scuffing in lower corner. Gift inscription, dated 1914, on inside front cover. Text clean, binding still strong. Several full-page b&w glossy illustrations. A collection of 20 stern and somewhat pompous fictional letters from a Chicago meatpacker to his son Pierrepont a.k.a. Piggy while the lad is attending Harvard and later starting his career in the meatpacking industry. The folksy advice makes for a humorous effect. On sending Piggy off to Harvard, Dad writes: "You'll find that education's about the only thing lying around loose in the world, and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw-driver lost." Lorimer was editor of the Saturday Evening Post for 37 years and his "Letters" book was a best-seller of the early 1900s.
