Excerpt from Success in the Small Shop In number the smaller are perhaps in the ratio Of 9 to I to the 1arger;1 in variety of work they cover all kinds Of metal working and machinery building from the highest type of manufacturing to the simplest job Of repairing;1 equipment they have everything from the most highly developed, up-to-date machine tools with a full complement Of cutting tools and attachments, to Old lathes, ancient drilling machines, and a few handfuls Of almost worn out small tools; in their management there are as wide differences as can be imagined; and financially they range from heartbreaking failures to successes that bring riches. These facts were impressed so strongly by the Cleveland data, that a careful study was at once made Of the place occupied by the small shop in the American machine-building industry, and the determination reached to procure and pub lish a series Of articles devoted particularly to its importance, problems and needs. It was intended that the series should comprehend a large number of subjects, such as economic conditions, financing, accounting, management, machine equip ment, small-tool equipment, selection of work, helpful devices, kinks and methods, and the like. The wish was to make the series Of practical use to the many men who were battling with the problems and difficulties of a small shop. The first article was published in the first issue Of January, 1915, and during the year fifty were presented in all. As a natural result, there were numerous comments and discussions about them Offered by readers. These found their regular place in the then current issues Of the American Machinist. These fifty articles and a part Of the discussions and comments they called forth have now been knit together into book form under the title, Success in the Small Shop. The purpose is to make the material Of further service in this permanent form, with the belief that the information will be helpful, not only to the man who actually owns or manages or works in a small machine shop, but also to men in larger shops where departments are so organized that to all intents and purposes each is a small shop by itself.

Excerpt from Making the Small Shop Profitable For years the word Small Shop conveyed to one's mind the impression of hard work and no profits. The owner of a small shop was regarded with pity and looked upon as one having the responsibilities Of a capitalist and the net income Of a day laborer. Small shop ownership was a temporary affair and the sign painter made frequent visits to the same institution to change the name of the proprietor on the shop shingle. Now the small shop is recognized as an honorable and also a profitable institution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Success in the Small Shop "Success in the small shop" is the reality worked out from a definite idea in technical journalism in the machinery-building field. Early in the year 1914, there came into the possession of the American Machinist a mass of statistical information in regard to the machine shops of the city of Cleveland, Ohio. An analysis of these data gave a number of plotted pages and editorial comments published in September and October of the same year. But a more important result came from the study of the records from those 400 shops when it brought a new realization of the relative importance of the small shops compared with the large ones. In number the smaller are perhaps in the ratio of 9 to 1 to the larger; in variety of work they cover all kinds of metal working and machinery building from the highest type of manufacturing to the simplest job of repairing; in equipment they have everything from the most highly developed, up-to-date machine tools with a full complement of cutting tools and attachments, to old lathes, ancient drilling machines, and a few handfuls of almost worn out small tools; in their management there are as wide differences as can be imagined; and financially they range from heartbreaking failures to successes that bring riches. These facts were impressed so strongly by the Cleveland data, that a careful study was at once made of the place occupied by the small shop in the American machine-building industry, and the determination reached to procure and publish a series of articles devoted particularly to its importance, problems and needs. It was intended that the series should comprehend a large number of subjects, such as economic conditions, financing, accounting, management, machine equipment, small-tool equipment, selection of work, helpful devices, kinks and methods, and the like.

Excerpt from Making the Small Shop Profitable For years the word "Small Shop" conveyed to one's mind the impression of hard work and no profits. The owner of a small shop was regarded with pity and looked upon as one having the responsibilities of a capitalist and the net income of a day laborer. Small shop ownership was a temporary affair and the sign painter made frequent visits to the same institution to change the name of the proprietor on the "shop shingle." Now the small shop is recognized as an honorable and also a profitable institution. The change itself and the recognition of the position of the small shop by the mechanical public has been materially helped and in fact largely effected by the American Machinist's "Small Shop Series" which was the first consistent attempt to help the mall shop find itself and to help the mechanical public to find the small shop. So effective was this series that after publication in the American Machinist, repeated demand made necessary the republication of these articles in book form. The first fifty articles were gathered together under the title of "Success in the Small Shop," of which successive editions have been printed in response to the demand of those interested in making small shops successful. The present volume "Making the Small Shop Profitable" is a collection of the later writings of the same author on important phases of small shop activity. It contains also an illustrated encyclopedia of small shop methods or "kinks" which should prove of the utmost practical value to the mechanic whose means for doing work are restricted to what is ordinarily found in the small shop.

'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.

Excerpt from Success in Business, or Money, and How to Make It: Comprising the General Principles of Money-Making, With Definite Directions for Successfully Conducting Nearly All Kinds of Business To help the one who has hitherto failed; to eu able the medium man to take a higher position; and to give to the thrifty man advice and suggest modes that will enable him the more to outstrip his fellows, is another design of this volume. Unnumbered thousands of young men in this country leave the paternal mansion, and go out into the wide world each year. 'their future depends in a great degree upon the choice they make of a business. If they are adapted to the one they enter upon - if they seek it because after a calm examina tion of their business tastes and desires they conclude they are fitted for it, and it for them, success is usually the result. But if without a knowledge of themselves or the demands of the business in which they embark, failure is almost inevitable.xii introductory.

Excerpt from How to Run a Store The mortality among retail stores is disturbing to say the least. And when we realize that two thirds of the misfortunes are attributed to incompetency and ignorance of the retail business principles, we appreciate the need for a stimulation of constructive thought and, indeed, often of energy. There are several excellent books on retailing already on the market. This book is not offered as something better but as something different and something more directly applicable to the small store needs.
