The Cash Boy is a novel written by Horatio Alger Jr. that tells the story of a young boy named Frank Fowler who lives in New York City. Frank is the son of a widowed seamstress who struggles to make ends meet. In order to help his mother, Frank takes a job as a cash boy at a department store. As a cash boy, Frank is responsible for delivering money and receipts between the cashiers and customers. He quickly learns the ins and outs of the store and becomes a valuable employee. However, Frank's life takes a turn when he is accused of stealing money from the store. Despite his protests of innocence, Frank is fired from his job and left to clear his name. With the help of a kind-hearted lawyer, Frank is able to prove his innocence and regain his job at the store. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about honesty, hard work, and perseverance. The Cash Boy is a classic rags-to-riches story that highlights the importance of integrity and determination. It is a timeless tale that continues to inspire readers of all ages.Small as Frank's income was, he had managed to live within it. It will be remembered that he had paid but fifty cents a week for a room. By great economy he had made his meals cost but two dollars a week, so that out of his three dollars he saved fifty cents. But this saving would not be sufficient to pay for his clothes. However, he had had no occasion to buy any as yet, and his little fund altogether amounted to twenty dollars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
