Description:
Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son is a classic work of American social satire and literary commentary, originally serialized in The Saturday Evening Post. Written as a series of fictional letters from a successful Chicago businessman to his son at Harvard, the book blends humor, business philosophy, moral observation, and cultural insight. George Horace Lorimer, longtime editor of The Saturday Evening Post, crafted a distinctive narrative voice that captures the values, ambitions, and contradictions of early twentieth-century American life. The book occupies an important place in the development of American realism and business-minded literature, influencing later writing on success, ethics, and masculinity. This early Grosset & Dunlap cloth edition reflects the book’s initial popularity and remains a desirable example for collectors.
