ONE THOUSAND WAYS TO MAKE $1000 by F. C. MINAKER
Good luck to you in the most fascinating game in all the world - the great game of business.
HOW TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS
When Gustavus Swift, a youngster in knee breeches, dressed and sold and his first calf to the fisherfolk of Cape Cod, he leid the foundation of the largest meat packing business in the world. The desire to make money - to have a business of his own - was a driving force in the make-up of young Swift. In Barnstable, he was known as a chap with a lot of "get up and go" to him. So it was not surprising that when he felt the desire to make money, he didn't waste his time wishing, but took his courage in his two hands and started in the dressed beef business in his did's back yard.
No doubt there were other young men in Barnstable who wanted to make money too. But while they were wondering how they could make it, Gus Swift cut Gordian knot. It meant work for him. It was not a pleasant way to make money. There was the possibility of his not being able to sell his calf after he had dressed it. He had to walk miles in order to market his veal, for Cape Cod in those days was a "spread out" sort of place. But Swift didn't care. He wanted the money. The work, walking, and adventure was fun. And because he regarded making money as fun instead of work, he later was able to come to Chicago and start the great Swift packing business. How different from the average young men of today! They are usually more interested in having a good time than they are establishing themselves in a business of their own. Being in business is so confining! So they concentrate on enjoying themselves, serene in their philosophy that tomorrow is another say. If these people and they are not all young people either, worked half as hard at making money as they do at having a good time, they would be rich.
