Are You a Failure?
“WISHING FOR THINGS IS LIKE FISHING FOR THINGS ALADDIN IS DEAD! AND THE SLAVES OF THE LAMP HAVE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.”
Coddled by his maiden aunts and apparently unable to make decisions, Oliver Wendell Blaine signs up for a mail-order course in "Success." Oliver follows the instructions step by step, builds his self-confidence, and proves himself a hero when a log jam threatens the town. He is made river boss and marries Phyllis Thorpe, daughter of the owner of the lumber-mill.
