The Cash Boy

*Illustrated


Horatio Alger Jr. made the phrase rags to riches famous, through the writings of popular tales like Ragged Dick. His lifelong theme of rags to riches continued to gain popularity but has gradually lessened since the 1920s. Still, readers today often come across Ragged Dick and stories like it in school.


This edition of Alger’s The Cash Boy is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Alger, Jr.
