Synopsis

A merchant of the old school, built on integrity, grit, and practical sense.

This memorial edition offers a concise portrait of James Johnson, a Boston-based trader whose career spanned nearly fifty years. It honors a man known for honesty, steady hard work, and a generous regard for others in business and community life.

The biographical sketch presents his beginnings, from humble schooling to the shops and counting rooms that formed his character. It highlights how he balanced profit with fairness, educated his partners and employees by example, and guided a family-founded firm to lasting respect. The record also notes his quiet religious faith, public service, and devotion to the home and town that shaped his values.

• Learn how steady discipline, prudent risk, and a focus on others contributed to a durable mercantile career.


• See the emphasis on integrity and mentorship that earned loyal colleagues and long-term partnerships.


• Discover how a business leader balanced growth with civic and religious responsibilities.


• Understand why his firm became a symbol of uprightness in Boston and beyond.

Ideal for readers of 19th-century business history and portraits of principled American entrepreneurship.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
