Howard, Clarence H.
Circular, 1918. 1 item [formerly Alphabetical File]
Circular titled “A String of Pearls,” compiled by Clarence H. Howard, St. Louis, Missouri.
The circular states, “During a period of many busy years, crowded with problems, I have tried to
gather, in condensed form, those sayings, or ‘proverbs,’ which have been most helpful to me.
These I call my “String of Pearls,” gems more valuable than silver or gold–for they have been
the guiding influence in the solution of many perplexing problems, and have enriched my life. . .
.”
