This book is a collection of letters preserved between Chicago's self-made millionaire Old Gorgon Graham and his soon-to-be-adult son who is about to enter the family business. These letters date back to the 1890s, but it feels like they could be written in any era. They are surprisingly stoic, honest and genuine.

Letters and More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son presents George Horace Lorimer's famous Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son and its lesser known but equally brilliant sequel, More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son. With his unique dry wit, Lorimer lampoons the attitudes of the newly moneyed classes of the Gilded Age - characters straight out of The Great Gatsby - in a series of fictional exchanges between John 'Old Gorgon' Graham, a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago, and his son, Pierrepont, whom he 'affectionately' calls 'Piggy.' The letters of Book 1 (Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son) are from a father to a son in college (Harvard) but in the sequel (More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son) Pierrepont has graduated and is writing to his old man to see if there is any work for him in the family business. The Gorgon is reluctant but thinks there might be an opportunity for Piggy in the lard department...

Being the Letters composed by John Graham, Head of the House of Graham and Company, Pork-Packers in Chicago, naturally referred to on 'Change as "Old Gorgon Graham," to his Son, Pierrepont, wryly referred to his lingerie as 'Piggy.' George Horace Lorimer was an American writer and writer most popular as the supervisor of The Saturday Evening Post. During his publication rule, the Post rose from a course of a few thousand to over 1,000,000. He is credited with advancing or finding an enormous number of American authors like Jack London. Lorimer's Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son is an ageless assortment of Gilded Age truisms from a rich man - a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago to his child, Pierrepont, whom he 'tenderly' calls 'Piggy.' The composing is unobtrusive and splendid.
