| "The trials and triumphs of
Harry Harding and Teddy Burke, two wide-awake boys who make a humble
beginning on the messenger force of a great department store, with a firm
resolve to become successful business men, form a series of narratives
calculated to please the alert, progressive boys of today." |
- HARRY HARDING -- MESSENGER "45" -- "When Harry
Harding bravely decided to leave school in order to help his mother in the
fight against poverty, he took his first long step towards successful
manhood. How Harry chanced to meet mischievous, red-haired Teddy Burke,
who preferred work to school, how Teddy and Harry became messengers in
Martin Brothers' Department store and what happened to them there, is a
story that never flags in interest." -- 1917. Cupples &
Leon; Goldsmith.
- HARRY HARDING'S YEAR OF PROMISE -- "After a blissful two
weeks' vacation together, Harry Harding and Teddy Burke again take up
their work in Martin Brothers' store. Their 'year of promise' brings them
many new experiences, pleasant and unpleasant, but more determined than
ever to reach the goal they have set for themselves, they pass
courageously and hopefully over the rough places, meeting with many
surprises and exciting incidents which advance them far on the road to
success." -- 1917. Cupples & Leon;
Goldsmith.
