A Small Business of Your Own including 1000 Spare Time Money Making Ideas A practical guide for young and middle-aged men and women, students, boys, and girls in the art of spare time money making at home by William Allan Brooks 1937 |
||
INTRODUCTORY This book is addressed primarily to all men and women who do not want to trust their economic security and future to the whims of an employer. To those who realize the wisdom of wanting to go into business for themselves, Also— IF you are a woman who wants to add to the family income by spare time work at home— IF you are a middle-aged man or woman, dependent on others for a living; if you find your enforced leisure irksome and boring; if you find "the good old age released from care" of which the poet sings, a tragedy and an illusion— IF you are a groping, recent college graduate, ceremoniously shipped out from any of our higher institutions of learning to feed the minotaur known as "Earning a Living," and if you are on the verge of being destroyed by that monster— IF you are a student wondering how to earn your year's tuition— IF you are a boy or girl desirous of turning your spare time to advantage— Whoever you are, if you have exhausted your resources and must earn some money— This book will prove a sound and helpful guide to you. The 1,000 practical, money-making plans outlined in the following pages were not created out of the imagination. They are the true records of what thousands of people are actually doing at the present time to earn extra money. The plans have been tried, and have been found practical, successful and profitable. No attempt has been made here at vocational guidance because most of the occupations mentioned are used as a means to an end rather than as regular employment. The best way, however, to determine the activity that is best suited for your ability and temperament is to read every one of the 1,000 suggestions in this book. Study the one that best appeals to you. Reading about the experience of others may suggest other profitable plans based on your own natural ability and background. Exhaustive and painstaking research was necessary to obtain the 1,000 money-making suggestions comprising this book. Every available source was tapped. Special thanks and acknowledgement is extended to The U.S. Department of Labor, the Bureau of Home Economics, the Children's Bureau, the Office of Education, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Interior, the Congressional Library, and the Superintendent of the United States Government Printing Office for supplying the writer with all available documents, bulletins and publications.
