GEORGE SAMUEL CLASON was born in Louisiana,
Missouri, in November 1847. He attended the
University of Nebraska and served in the United States
Army during the Spanish-American War. A successful
businessman, he founded the Clason Map Company of
Denver, Colorado, and published the first road atlas of
the United States and Canada. In 1926, he issued the
first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and
financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon
to make each of his points. These were distributed in
large quantities by banks and insurance companies and
became familiar to millions, the most famous being
"The Richest Man in Babylon," the parable from which
the present volume takes its title. These "Babylonian
parables have become a modern inspirational classic.
Foreword
Our prosperity as a nation depends upon the personal
financial prosperity of each of us as individuals.
This book deals with the personal successes of each
of us. Success means accomplishments as the result
of our own efforts and abilities. Proper preparation
is the key to our success. Our acts can be no wiser
than our thoughts. Our thinking can be no wiser than
our understanding.
This book of cures for lean purses has been termed
a guide to financial understanding. That, indeed, is
its purpose: to offer those who are ambitious for financial
success an insight which will aid them to
acquire money, to keep money and to make their
surpluses earn more money.
In the pages which follow, we are taken back to
Babylon, the cradle in which was nurtured the basic
principles of finance now recognized and used, the world over.
To new readers the author is happy to extend the
wish that its pages may contain for them the same
inspiration for growing bank accounts, greater financial
successes and the solution of difficult personal
financial problems so enthusiastically reported
by readers from coast to coast.
To the business executives who have distributed
these tales in such generous quantities to friends, relatives,
employees and associates, the author takes
this opportunity to express his gratitude. No endorsement
could be higher than that of practical men
who appreciate its teachings because they, themselves,
have worked up to important successes by
applying the very principles it advocates.
Babylon became the wealthiest city of the ancient
world because its citizens were the richest people of
their time. They appreciated the value of money.
They practiced sound financial principles in acquiring
money, keeping money and making their money earn
more money. They provided for themselves what we
all desire . . . incomes for the future.
