And it was given to Edward to feel the deep
satisfaction of having Mr. Cary say, before he passed away, that the
boy had more than justified the confidence reposed in him. Mr. Cary
lived to see him well on his way, until, indeed, Edward had had the
proud happiness of introducing to his benefactor the son who bore his
name, Cary William Bok.
CHAPTER VIII
STARTING A NEWSPAPER SYNDICATE
Edward felt that his daytime hours, spent in a publishing atmosphere as
stenographer with Henry Holt and Company, were more in line with his
editorial duties during the evenings. _The Brooklyn Magazine_ was soon
earning a comfortable income for its two young proprietors, and their
backers were entirely satisfied with the way it was being conducted.
In fact, one of these backers, Mr. Rufus T. Bush, associated with the
Standard Oil Company, who became especially interested, thought he saw
in the success of the magazine a possible opening for one of his sons,
who was shortly to be graduated from college. He talked to the
publisher and editor about the idea, but the boys showed by their books
that while there was a reasonable income for them, not wholly dependent
on the magazine, there was no room for a third.
