The Life-Story of J. Plerpont Morgan 



When Ida Tarbell told the story of the gigantic Standard Oil Company, and 

 later, when Lawson unfolded, in his picturesque style, the mysteries of 

 "Frenzied Finance," they made epochs in magazine-publishing history. 



The METROPOLITAN begins in October the publication of what we believe is 

 the most significant story of its time. It is the first authorized, authentic life- 

 story of J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Morgan stands to-day the biggest and most 

 mysterious figure in public life. There is a natural curiosity about the man and 

 his work. On one side he is described to you as a relentless money tyrant, with 

 illimitable power; on the other hand, you will find him glowingly painted as 

 the greatest patriot of our age. 



The story of Morgan will not be written from a point of view ; no hero-worship- 

 ing or muck-raking. There will be simply set forth the true story of the 

 greatest financial power in the world by showing the growth of the man Morgan 

 in the fertile environment of the United States of America during the years of 

 our upbuilding as a world power. 



In a graphic and compelling form will be told the authentic narrative of such 

 eventful matters as the Northern Pacific Fight, United States Steel, and other 

 mergers, the Cleveland Bond Issue, the formation of the Atlantic Shipping 

 Trust and the Panic of 1907, which last contains all of the clashing elements of 

 a five-act drama. This important series 



Will Begin in the October
