Author of "■100,000 Facts for the People," " Cyclopadia of Things Worth

This work differs in many important respects from all books on the subject of 

 "Business " published. It has been prepared to supply a want long needed by those 

 who need an instructor, and the author, unlike all others who have attempted the 

 difficult task, has begun at the "Foundation" — the AB Cof Business — and from 

 that has ascended and taken the most difficult portions. No matter how intricate the 

 subject is, Mr. Shafer has explained it in a plain and satisfactory manner.
