He had a streak of boldness that appealed to many of his fellows, while it shocked some, but it enabled him to advance step by step until he became a famous industrialist and later mayor.

The book was published in England under "The Card." but in this country it bore the title "Denry, the Audacious." Denry is a contraction of Edward Henry, the hero of the tale.
