As Assistant Professor of Business Method in Boston University’s famous College of Business Administration, the author’s lectures have attracted widespread attention, and the popularity of his stories of business life, under the title of “The Business Career of Peter Flint,” which have appeared scrially in important trade magazines and newspapers all over the country, has created an insistent demand for their book publication.

The public demand for these stories compelled the author to continue them so long that, were they all published in book form, they would constitute a set of several volumes. By careful and scrutinizing editorial work the author has recast the very best of this material for book publicazion, the result being a story that is virile, compelling end convincing as it leads the reader through the muze of business entanglements.

A New York business man wrote: “I have read with much interest the ‘Carcer of Peter Flint,’ appearing in the Evening Sun.

“Having come to New York fresh from college twelve years ago, I appreciate fully Peter’s experience. I want to say that I think your knowledge of human nature almost uncanny.”
