The Law of Success philosophy was brought to

• 20 -
  the attention of the late Don R. Mellett, former
  publisher of the Canton (Ohio) Daily News, who
  formed a partnership with the author of the course and
  was preparing to resign as publisher of the Canton
  Daily News and take up the business management of
  the author's affairs when he was assassinated on July
  16, 1926.
  Prior to his death Mr. Mellett had made
  arrangements with judge Elbert H. Gary, who was then
  Chairman of the Board of the United States Steel
  Corporation, to present the Law of Success course to
  every employee of the Steel Corporation, at a total
  cost of something like $150,000.00. This plan was
  halted because of judge Gary's death, but it proves
  that the author of the Law of Success has produced an
  educational plan of an enduring nature. Judge Gary
  was eminently prepared to judge the value of such a
  course, and the fact that he analyzed the Law of
  Success philosophy and was preparing to invest the
  huge sum of $150,000.00 in it is proof of the
  soundness of all that is said in behalf of the course.
  You will observe, in this General Introduction to
  the course, a few technical terms which may not be
  plain to you. Do not allow this to bother you. Make no
  attempt at first reading to understand these terms.
  They will be plain to you after you read the remainder
  of the course. This entire Introduction is intended
  only as a background for the other fifteen lessons of
  the course, and you should read it as such. You will
  not be examined on this Introduction, but you should
  read it many times, as you will get from it at each
  reading a thought or an idea which you did not get on
  previous readings.
