Excerpt from The New Business
Commerce has always held for me the interest which attaches to a great primary force, an interest which is amplified and increased by the numerous manifestations with which experience brings us in contact. It is the greatest, the most exciting melodrama and romance, the continuous performance of which has supplied material for the development of race after race, the tendency of modern civilization, and in these latter days has developed marvels so astonishing as to stagger the imagination. Even the figures are romantic - romantic with the size and ferocity of the giants of our childhood beliefs. Figures that pile millions upon millions until the mind has no conception of the meaning of the words it uses and the imagination is obliged to reduce the measurements of a universe to comparison with a yardstick.
