Aprašymas

Excerpt from The Young Book Agent or Frank Hardy's Road to Success
Many years ago the author of the present volume resolved to write a long series of books describing various phases of village and city life, taking up in their turn the struggles of the bootblacks, the newsboys, the young peddlers, the street musicians - the lives, in fact, of all those who, though young in years, have to face the bitter necessity of earning their own living.
In the present story are described the ups and downs of a boy book agent, who is forced, through the misfortunes of his father, to help provide for the family to which he belongs. He knows nothing of selling books, when he starts, but he acquires a valuable experience rapidly, and in the end gains a modest success which is well deserved.
It is the custom of many persons in ordinary life to sneer at a book agent and show him scant courtesy, forgetting that the agents business is a perfectly legitimate one and that he is therefore entitled to due respect so long as he does that which is proper and gentlemanly.
