THE HARRY HARDING SERIES
By Alfred Raymond

Notes

Titles

"The trials and triumphs of Harry Harding and Teddy Burke, two wide-awake boys who make a humble beginning on the messenger force of a great department store, with a firm resolve to become successful business men, form a series of narratives calculated to please the alert, progressive boys of today."
  1. HARRY HARDING -- MESSENGER "45" -- "When Harry Harding bravely decided to leave school in order to help his mother in the fight against poverty, he took his first long step towards successful manhood. How Harry chanced to meet mischievous, red-haired Teddy Burke, who preferred work to school, how Teddy and Harry became messengers in Martin Brothers' Department store and what happened to them there, is a story that never flags in interest." -- 1917. Cupples & Leon; Goldsmith.

  2. HARRY HARDING'S YEAR OF PROMISE -- "After a blissful two weeks' vacation together, Harry Harding and Teddy Burke again take up their work in Martin Brothers' store. Their 'year of promise' brings them many new experiences, pleasant and unpleasant, but more determined than ever to reach the goal they have set for themselves, they pass courageously and hopefully over the rough places, meeting with many surprises and exciting incidents which advance them far on the road to success." -- 1917. Cupples & Leon; Goldsmith.
