Publisher's Synopsis
""Paul The Peddler"" is a novel written by Horatio Alger Jr., first published in 1871. The story follows the life of Paul Hoffman, a young boy who is orphaned at a young age and forced to make his way in the world as a peddler. Paul is a hard-working and determined young man who is determined to make a success of his life. He faces many challenges along the way, including poverty, illness, and discrimination, but he never gives up. With the help of his friends and his own resourcefulness, Paul is able to overcome these obstacles and achieve his dreams. The novel is a classic example of the ""rags to riches"" genre, and it is a timeless tale of perseverance, determination, and the power of the human spirit.The next morning Paul took his old place in front of the post office. He set down his basket in front, and, taking one of the packages in his hand, called out in a businesslike manner, as on the day before, ""Here's your prize packages! Only five cents! Money prize in every package! Walk up, gentlemen, and try your luck!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
