Excerpt from Cincinnati Business Directory, for the Year 1844Needy men are apt to deviate from the rule of integrity, under the plea that necessity knows no law: they might as well add, that it knows no shame. The course is suicidal, and by destroy ing all confidence, ever keeps them immured in poverty, although they may possess every other quality for success in the world.Punctuality, which is said to be the soul of business, is anoth er ~important element in the art of money-getting. The man known to be scrupulously exact in the fulfilment of his engage ments, gains the confidence of all, and may command all the means he can use to advantage, whereas, a man careless and regardless of his promises in money matters, will have every purse closed against him. Therefore be prompt in your payments.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
