ABSTRACT
It has been made plain in the papers that have preceded this concluding one that the time when I pursued the business with so much attention as to exclude all thought of other things was limited to the first six years of the existence of the Advertising Agency, which I had established in 1865. In 1871 the practice of taking a four months’ vacation out of every year was begun and there was rarely any variation from it, and if any such occurred it seemed certain to be in the way of adding to rather than curtailing the period of relaxation.
