The Toothpaste Millionaire (Original Conclusion)

Would you ever have imagined a 12 year old boy becoming a self-millionaire in less than a year? This is what happened to Rufus Mayflower in the book The Toothpaste Millionaire by Jean Merrill. Rufus shows that no matter how young a person is, he or she can always achieve greatness.

Rufus Mayflower was a normal 12 year old boy who had a genius idea. His idea was to make toothpaste super cheap. How he did this was to sell toothpaste at a 3 cent price while other toothpaste companies were selling around $2.30. In a little over a year his toothpaste company was putting other big toothpaste companies out of business with his cheap prices. He soon became a multi-millionaire. I have to say that Rufus’s story shows achieving at a very young age.

Rufus not only helped himself, but helped many other people with his toothpaste company. Rufus’s company helped many kids earn stock options and money by working at his business. They had a lot of fun, made some money, and met new friends. Rufus also helped out Hector who was a jobless man who couldn’t support his family. Rufus made Hector the manager and gave Hector a good salary to support his family. Helping people in the community showed another act of achieving at a young age.

Rufus started out as a normal young Ohio boy who turned into a teen who achieved at a very young age. Rufus helped many people find jobs and he was able to run a business at a young age. After reading this book made me realize even though how old you are, you can always achieve anything if you put you’re mind to it. I loved this book and it’s a book I learned from and enjoyed at the same time.

New Conclusion: Despite encountering some bumps in the road, Rufus stayed focus until his idea finally became reality. Rufus helped many people find jobs and he was able to run a business at a unusually young age. After reading this book, I realized that no matter how old or young you are, you can achieve your dreams if you put your mind to it. Each individual can make a difference whether it's helping people in the community, helping people find jobs, or even helping the public to get good toothpaste.
