Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty Years on the Road: The Autobiography of a Traveling Salesman
An autobiography is the perpetuation of a life. It preserves for another generation the story of the struggles and the triumphs of a fellow human being. The thoughts and the aspirations of the autobiographer cannot be very dissimilar to the feelings and incidents in the lives of millions, and the way in which one man has lived cannot fail to be of vivid interest to those who are just commencing to live. To the hundreds of thousands of Americans, young and old, who are engaged in salesmanship, this record of a travelling salesman will be interesting and help ful. As a bright star has always aided man to travel in the right direction, so will this book aid those who are looking for the safest guides toward happiness and success. The ways by which some have arrived at certain epochs will surely be those by which others are going, and the experience of one serves another as warning or guidance, according to the secret bent of his nature and his dread or desire to be led to the right or turned to the left.
