Five years being married to Joseph had convinced her that it was no use trying to restrain his ambition.
He was driven by an insatiable need to be occupied, to have meaningful work and to keep moving.
He's also incredibly ruthless.
So a few years earlier, his younger brother had moved to New York, started a small paper.
It's more like a tabloid, like gossip rag kind of thing.
And as soon as he closes his deal with Jay Gold, he tries to do what he did in St.
Louis, where he's like, I'm going to convince another existing paper to merge with me so I can immediately increase my circulation and buy myself more time.
And so it says Pulitzer proposed to his brother that they consolidate their papers into a new one to be called the World Journal.
Albert's paper had three times the circulation of the world and was acquiring thousands of new subscribers each month.
If Albert agreed to the merger, Joseph promised him a profit of no less than $100,000 a year.
And he told his little brother, you don't even need to come to the office at all.
If you like, you can stay at home in bed all day long.
In hoping to combine the papers, Joseph was following the game plan he had used in St.
Louis.
But this situation was different.
Albert was making money on his own and lots of it.
And his paper was not threatened by Joseph.
He declined the invitation.
So Joseph responds, don't be so cocksure of your success.
It is the men you have got and who get the paper out every night that are making it what it is.
