Excerpt from A Selection of Dialect Poems: Written on the Rail, and Dedicated to the "Army of the Gripsack"
Merce, the Drummer, and to all good people who love Nature, I dedicate this collection of humble songs; not in response to the desire 'of many friends, etc., but really to do'good and make money.
As it may not be generally known to what extent the business of traveling solicitor has grown within a few years, it may with propriety be stated here that there are in the United States, to - day, upwatd of two hundred thousand Drummers on the road, costing their em ployers some six hundred million dollars per annum to conduct their business. The writer himself feels proud of the distinction of being one' among them, and it has ever been his desire to raise (morally and socially) the standard of the Commercial Traveler.
