Publisher Description
Out now: More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son - the sequel.
George Horace Lorimer's satirical Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son is a timeless collection of tongue-in-cheek Gilded Age aphorisms from a fictitious rich man - a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago - to his son, Pierrepont, whom he 'affectionately' calls 'Piggy.' The writing is subtle and brilliant.

Doesn’t age well
Yes, the book was written in the 1890’s. So keep that in mind when the writer discusses women and black people.
Some of the advice was good, but I ended up donating this book.
