power of success is obtained by reading helpful books, and by practical experience applied after 
learning how from those who have previously succeeded and have told how they did so in the books 
we offer on this page. Buy these books and read them; they are the “guide-posts” on the road 
to success. Buy them for yourself, for your children, and for your hired help.
