Andrew Carnegie：Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie, Excerpt 40

The effect produced upon my companions was overwhelming. None of them had imagined such an investment possible. We resolved to save and to watch for the next opportunity for investment in which all of us should share, and for years afterward we divided our trifling investments and worked together almost as partners.
