About this book
Elbert Hubbard's short biographical essay on John Jacob Astor, the fur merchant and New York landowner, belongs to his series on great business men. Before reaching Astor, Hubbard spends the opening pages on education and efficiency, quoting Victor Hugo's saying about schools, and he sets as a motto, under Astor's name, a remark that early rising and good habits lead to wealth.
