Overview

Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of Famous Women When I was twelve years old my father transferred Ali Baba to the garden - and I did the chores around the house and barn for a dollar a week. From that day forward I earned every dollar that ever came to me 33 I fed the printing-press at four dollars a week. Then, when we purchased a gas-engine, I was promoted to be engineer, and given a pair of long overalls. Two or three years later I was moved into the General Office, where I opened mail and filled in orders. Again, I was promoted into the Private Office and permitted to sign my name under my Father's, on checks. (ll Then the responsibility of purchasing materials was given me. One time or another I have worked in every Department of the Roycroft Shops. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
