One Thousand Ways to Make a Living; or, An Encyclopædia of Plans to Make Money
"One Thousand Ways to Make a Living; or, An Encyclopædia of Plans to Make Money" by Harold M. Dunphy is a practical guidebook written in the early 20th century. It compiles a diverse range of ideas and plans aimed at helping individuals find methods to earn a living, particularly in the context of post-World War I America. The book focuses on providing actionable, straightforward strategies for generating income, rather than offering vague
financial advice or "get-rich-quick" schemes. The opening portion of the book introduces the purpose and intention behind its creation, emphasizing its goal of empowering individuals, particularly those affected by unemployment post-war. It features a dedication to assisting those who have sacrificed for their country, as well as highlighting the importance of self-initiative. Furthermore, the text introduces several initial plans for making a living, showcasing inventive ideas like weaving baskets for ferns, becoming a professional hostess, or taking on creative ventures such as cooking and crafting—all of which demonstrate resourcefulness and adaptability. This serves as a foundation for the many strategies that will follow, inviting readers to explore new potential avenues to enhance their livelihoods. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
