His first, weekly column, "Chaff," began in 1904 and eventually became the daily "Breakfast Table Chat," which was ultimately syndicated to 300 newspapers throughout the United States.

Biography of English American Poet Edgar Guest Part 1 About the English-American poet Edgar Guest, history and biography of the artist who wrote poetry for the common man. SIDESHOW OF POPULAR AND OFFBEAT PERFORMING AND CREATIVE ARTISTS Edgar Guest (1881-1959) The only poet that Edith Bunker has ever quoted on All in the Family is Edgar A. Guest. This is an excellent barometer of Guest's popularity, influence, and level of artistic achievement. He was "the poet of the plain people," serving up common, homely, bland sentiments seasoned with rhyme and meter which the mass of the population could absorb with minimal strain. Guest's verses are sugar pills dutifully taken by his devoted followers as if they were, instead, a prime source of protein for the brain. His verses praise, support, and uphold all the American virtues and have given our language some of its soundest cliches, including "It takes a heap o'livin' in a house t' make it home." Born in Birmingham, England, Guest emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 10, in 1891, with his financially destitute parents, Edwin and Julia Guest. They settled in Detroit, where Guest was to spend most of his life. He quit high school after his freshman year. Although only 13, he went to work as a soda jerk. He confessed his desire to be a newspaperman to a bookkeeper at the Detroit Free Press, who promptly got him a job there as an office boy at $1.50 per week. Guest's career at the Free Press began to gain momentum in 1896. In the years following, he was steadily promoted, rising from office boy to exchange editor to police reporter and, finally, to columnist. His column was originally called Chaff; then it became Blue Monday; and after his verses had brought him fame, it was retitled Edgar A. Guest's Breakfast Table Chat (the Free Press was a morning newspaper when Guest wrote for it). He was first given the column because of the accidental local success of some verses he had written for his own amusement. It began as a weekly column, but eventually became a daily one, syndicated at the zenith of its popularity to approximately 300 newspapers. Having written a verse for every one of his columns. Guest estimated at one point that he had written well over 10,000 verses in all.

Biography of English American Poet Edgar Guest Part 2 About the English-American poet Edgar Guest, history and biography of the artist who wrote poetry for the common man. SIDESHOW OF POPULAR AND OFFBEAT PERFORMING AND CREATIVE ARTISTS Edgar Guest (1881-1959) Until he was given his own column, the most Guest had been paid by the Free Press was $50 per week, a sum that was reduced to $37.50 during the Depression. However, at the height of his fame and activity, he earned over $130,000 a year from his column and from the various enterprises connected with his writing of verse-books, greeting cards, calendars, radio (and, later, television) appearances, and innumerable public speaking engagements, during which he invariably reinforced his audience's values and beliefs, for a handsome fee of course. Guest was pale, short, wiry, and small-boned; he had lively, smiling eyes and graying black hair and usually wore a bow tie and glasses. His fans and followers were devoted to him. For example, Henry Ford gave him four automobiles as gifts over the years. And illustrative of Guest's conservative nature is the fact that he elected never to invest in his friend Ford's automobile company. This same conservatism helped keep Guest solvent despite the Depression, for he continued to handle his money judiciously. Edgar A. Guest was a simple but shrewd man who profited and lived well by capitalizing on these qualities.

Against the blunders I have made And all the things I've failed to do, The weaknesses which I've displayed, This fact remains forever true; This to my credit still must stay And don't forget it, I implore you; Whatever else you think or say: 'Twas I who chose your mother for you! Chuckle at times behind my back About the ties and hats I wear.

On Quitting By Edgar A. Guest How much grit do you think you've got? Can you quit a thing that you like a lot? You may talk of pluck; it's an easy word, And where'er you go it is often heard; But can you tell to a jot or guess Just how much courage you now possess? You may stand to trouble and keep your grin, But have you tackled self-discipline? Have you ever issued commands to you To quit the things that you like to do, And then, when tempted and sorely swayed, Those rigid orders have you obeyed? Don't boast of your grit till you've tried it out, Nor prate to men of your courage stout, For it's easy enough to retain a grin In the face of a fight there's a chance to win, But the sort of grit that is good to own Is the stuff you need when you're all alone. How much grit do you think you've got?
