Excerpt from Successful Folks, How They Win: Illustrated in the Carker of Eight Hundred Eminent Men Horace H. Day was at one time very famous. He had more law-suits on hand than any man in America. Goodyear sold him a license. As Day inter preted it, it was Of immense value. A powerful corpo ration tried to take it away. Day fought like a tiger. He defended his claims with a pluckand ability that commended universal admiration. He made his foes answer in every State in the Union. A decision won in Baltimore enabled him to dictate terms. Day went out of the struggle with a half a million Of money. Then his folly began. He tied up his wealth in all sorts of ways. His lawyers could not find investments bad enough for him, so he summoned Webster and Clay from the grave. These eminent men, when alive, were very poor financiers. Judging from the nature Of these investnlents, these men had not improved in these matters since their translation. From an elegant mansion in upper New York, Mr. Day moved to a tenement house on Tenth Avenue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
