In the preparation of this exhaustive study of men, the author wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Alfred E.

And some of these very traits, that made William so different from most boys, later on in life were the basis of his stupendous success. By the time he was ten years old Wrigley's restless disposition and craving for adventure led him to take a serious step. He ran away from home to New York.

He was too young to dream of money-making, beyond getting a living, and this he had to do at once, for when he got off the train, crossed the Hudson on the ferry-boat and found himself close to newspaperdom and Wall Street, he had less than a dollar in his pocket, and nowhere to sleep when night came.
