Editor’s Note: The entire three page book can be read in this file as it is in the public domain. Seems maybe it always was since the author gave rights to railroad executives in many countries and this little book was shared 40 million times in its first few years out. That was over 100 years ago and the writing is (appropriate to 1899) a bit heavy handed. But the point of it is highlighted in my excerpt below in one short sentence and I love the idea that all employers are in an endless search for “Rowans” – someone who can be counted on to get a message to Garcia. Note: Dedicated to my newest grandson, Rowan Zigmunt McCarthy.
Excerpt: “…all employers are not rapacious and high-handed, any more than all poor men are virtuous.”
