About the author
Charles Sale
18 books5 followersCharles "Chic" Sale was an American actor and vaudevillian. Named at birth Charles Partlow Sale, he was a son of Frank Orville and Lillie Belle (Partlow) Sale, and brother of writer, actress Virginia Sale-Wren.
In 1929, inspired by a carpenter named 'Lem Putt' from his hometown of Urbana, Illinois, Sale wrote The Specialist, a play about an outhouse builder. Because copyright infringement was widespread in Vaudeville, Sale enlisted the aid of two newspapermen to adapt The Specialist into a book.

"Pride in your work is all right; but personal pride is dangerous - and I'll tell you why: You're liable to ferget it's results folks is interested in, and not you. Another thing, pride will nearly always make a feller over-estimate his abilities. He'll want to take in new territory, instead of makin' the most of the territory he's in. He'll reach out, and nine times out of ten over-reach hisself."
A monotonous read, but very educational stuff for the soul.
