Money Making For Boys

A WORD TO YOU Boy ! This book means money to you. It tells you how to turn your spare time into money, and as you need money I want you to read every line of it. You are old enough now to make whatever money you spend on yourself and you ought to be independent enough not to have to ask your folks for it. In the schemes I have put forth in the fol- lowing pages you will find at least one that you will like and can do, and if you work it hard enough you will make all of the spend- ing money you need. You may not know it but there is something more to money than merely getting hold of it and spending it. When it is given to you it comes easy, and naturally since you did not render any equivalent service for it you let it go just as easily. But it is different when you work for it for it is then, and then only, that you learn its true value and begin to feel that you must get your money's worth. Another thing you possibly never have thought of and that is when you work for money you give in exchange for it, or sell as we call it, the labour of your hands, or the ef- forts of your brain, or both of them combined, and you will learn what they are worth and what you ought to charge for them. If you put too high a price on them you will cheat the buyer, provided he buys; on the other hand, if you place too low a value on them you will cheat yourself. To be able to put a value on whatever you sell that is fair to both your customer and to yourself is to learn to do business as it ought to be done; and, next, by learning how to sell your products to a good advantage you will get a training that will go further toward helping you to make money as a man than any other one thing that I know of. Now you may say, DEGREES DEGREESWhy I live seven miles from the nearest town and I haven't a ghost of a chance to make money, '' or DEGREES DEGREESI live on the floor of a tenement house in a big city, and that lets me ont." Nothing is further from the truth of these ideas for wherever you live there you will find work that you can do, and it follows that you must make money by doing it. When I was a boy (a couple of years ago) I worked for the money I spent on myself and I know just what you can and can DEGREESt do; so in the simple directions I have written you won DEGREESt find that I Ve put you up against a man's job. Not only are the best and the most practical money making schemes laid down in this book but what is just as important you will find out what to do with your money after you have made it.

"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Little Women (includes Good Wives) + Little Men + Jo's Boys (3 Unabridged Classics with over 200 original illustrations)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This ebook contains 3 unabridged classic books with over 200 original illustrations by Frank T. Merrill and Reginald B. Birch in one ebook. Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Little Women and Good Wives, published in 1868 and 1869 respectively, is a story following the four March sisters and their friend Theodore "Laurie" Lawrence in Massachusetts in the 1800's. The four girls each exhibit individual flaws and much of the plot is concerned with their journey to correct themselves, always supporting each other in the end despite their numerous squabbles. Margaret "Meg" March is the eldest sister and at the beginning of the tale is very preoccupied with materialistic possessions, Josephine "Jo" March is a tomboy with a fiery temper, Elizabeth "Beth" March is shy and gentle and Amy, being the youngest March sister, is spoilt and therefore prone to temper tantrums. Little Women follows the sisters for about a year, but Good Wives skips forward in time regularly so that by the end they are all of adult age. Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1871. Little Men follows the adventures of Jo March and her husband Professor Bhaer as they try to make their school for boys a happy, comfortable, and stimulating place. Jo's Boys was first published in 1886. The novel is the final book in the unofficial Little Women series. In it, Jo's "children," now grown, are caught up in real world troubles.
