This volume tells the tale of Harvey S. Firestone, the founder of Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, of his rise to fame & wealth, and the ideals behind his success. Firestone's philosophy is that a business which exists without a reason is due for an early death. If you ask yourself why you are in business & can find no answer other than "I want to make money," you will save money by getting out of business & going to work for someone, for you are in business without sufficient reason. The single reason for the existence of any business must be that it supplies a human need or want, and, if his experience is worth anything, a business which has this reason for its existence will be bound in the end to prosper if thought be put into it.
