Abstract
To read an intelligent newspaper regularly is, in effect, to do one’s business homework. From early schooldays it is all too apparent that people who do their homework get on better than those who neglect it, and there is no exception to this principle in later years.
Why you should read the papers; what is in them; where to find different topics; when do the papers appear? how do they affect the businessman?
