Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Thrift In treating a subject as broad as is that of the development of thrift, it has not been possible in the compass of a small volume to do more than outline the general scope of the various agencies that have been organized to encourage and stimulate the practice of thrift. It is hoped, however, that workers in charitable societies and social settlements who are trying to build up the character of the poor by teaching them how to be independent, and workingmen who are making an effort to organize associations and clubs by means of which to accumulate savings and to make safe investments, will find many helpful suggestions in the following pages. For those who wish to make a thorough study of the subject of savings agencies, of workingmen's insurance, and of building and loan associations, this little book may serve as a stepping-stone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thrift, Movement in America Here and there a man has dared assert the righteousness Of thrift and to practice its doctrine. NO man in our century has done so much toward bringing the people to a realizing sense Of the crime Of wastefulness, and Of the absolute necessity for the proper practice of economy, as has the author Of the present book. A member of a large family, and with a father who had to make his own way in the world, he early absorbed lessons Of honesty, Of industry, of tenacity of purpose, Of economy; Of making the best use of what is available, and of shaping conditions to meet future needs, such as has made him careful for himself not only, but concerned for the welfare of others. With thrift as precept and practice entering into the very warp and woof Of the commercial, the moral, the spiritual life of the man - endowed by nature as wise and far-seeing, with an inherent de sire to serve - there early came to Simon W. Straus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thought and Thrift IN the selection of an agent to do a piece of work, we first wish to know if he be adapted to it. In purchasing even an article for domestic use, some knowledge of its make is at least desirable. So in a book or journal, where useful knowledge is published or important mat ters are discussed, the adaptability and opportunity of the author should be better known than is now usual. Primarily, however, the subject and design of the work might better be developed, at least in outline. In this work the necessity of more thought, union, and business methods is shown and advised for the laboring people of to-day. They must have courage to assert their rights, as well as persistency in maintainn them. Attention and thought; Business ability and system; Courage and perseverance, are, of course, partially innate, but mostly self-acquired. These combined qualities represent the A B C of success in any undertaking. A large and fertile brain, hard work, or a plucky per severance alope, will not feed the family and secure a competence. No one will deny that practical lines must be observed and followed; the experience of others must be largely known and used, and cultivating efforts con tinned, to make a mark or ride the storms of life. The Almighty Power has not placed us here to pick 05 bread from native trees, nor made our lives like a tranquil sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheer lack of thrift has caused more financial failures than anything else. How many men there are to-day who might have become wealthy had they only known how to save money! During the course of their careers they have earned large sums, but these have slipped from their fingers from day to day. They had the natural gift of making money, just as their successful rivals, but they lacked the quality of permanent success-which is thrift.-from "Money-Making and Money-Saving"The United States in the late 1910s was a nation reeling economically from the cost of fighting World War I, a cost that was ultimately borne-according to Simon William Straus, president of the American Society for Thrift-through a prudent parsimony. Here, he entreats the nation not to forget this vital lesson of the war, and to begin a new battle against the "crime of wastefulness." No mere matter of simply saving money, thrift is, Straus explains, the strength of character to spend wisely and with a thought toward the future, toward conserving natural resources, and toward freedom from the shackles of mindless consumerism-Straus' wise and sensible philosophy positions thrift as a necessary cornerstone of morality and patriotism.As startling relevant today as it was in 1920, when Straus laid out his plan for a frugal America, this is a book to make us reconsider, as individuals and as a nation, our financial strategies and priorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans today often think of thrift as a negative value—a miserly hoarding of resources and a denial of pleasure. Even more telling, many Americans don't even think of thrift at all anymore. Franklin’s Thrift challenges this state of mind by recovering the rich history of thrift as a quintessentially American virtue. The contributors to this volume trace how, from the eighteenth century on, the idea and practice of thrift has been a robust part of the American vision of economic freedom and social abundance. For Benjamin Franklin, who personified and promoted the idea, thrift meant working productively, consuming wisely, saving proportionally, and giving generously. Franklin's thrift became the cornerstone of a new kind of secular faith in the ordinary person's capacity to shape his lot and fortune in life. Later chapters document how in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thrift moved into new domains. It became the animating idea behind social movements to promote children's school savings, create mutual savings banks and credit unions for working men and women, establish a federal savings bond program, and galvanize the nation to conserve resources during two world wars. Historians, enthusiasts of Americana or traditional American virtues, and anyone interested in resolving our society's current financial woes will find much to treasure in this diverse collection, with topics ranging from the inspirational lessons we can learn from the film It’s a Wonderful Life to a history of the roles played by mutual savings banks, credit unions, and thrift stores in America’s national thrift movement. It also includes actual policy recommendations for our present situation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wealth and Social Progress in Relation to Thrift, Temperance and Trade At the Social Science Congress held in Nottingham, in the autumn of 1882, the President, Mr G. W. Hastings, M.P., defined Political Economy as being 'that branch of exact knowledge which teaches how the wealth of a nation is created, maintained, and fostered; how thrift is best encouraged; how production can be increased, and how distribution can be most advantageously carried on.' In a letter from Professor Bonomy Price, of Oxford, addressed to the writer, the Professor refers to 'Political Economy as being real, as going into the heart of the subjects it explains, recomposing them and placing the reader in front of the very realities of economic action'; adding, 'How sadly these realities are disguised from students!' These definitions seem to indicate truly the scope of political economy. Political Economy having thus to do with the actions of mankind, whether collective or individual, in relation to industrial life, is eminently important, and if not practical must be defective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thrift, Movement in America Until quite recently the term "Thrift" conveyed meagre conceptions to the average mind. There have been, it is true, individuals now and then who, because of so-called peculiar characteristics, or possessing dispositional make-up, unusual or rare, have practiced thrift. These, for the most part, however, have been looked upon as mercenary or miserly. To be thrifty was, in popular thinking, to drive a sharp bargain - to demand heavy usury. Thus, the thrifty were characterized as narrow-minded, self-centered, not always the most satisfactory community members. Society frowned upon them, and, while tolerated, they were taken into fellowship reluctantly, or not at all. Until recently, too, thrift was understood in its narrowest sense only - that of money saving. Anyone frugal in money matters was characterized as thrifty, as opposed to the wasteful or extravagant. Hence, to be thrifty implied living on the least possible, with the corresponding larger saving and investment. A close buyer, one who could drive a sharp bargain, who had foresight to invest to advantage, who managed to sell on a big margin, who spent little and saved much - such was the thrifty person.

We use a great many figures to convey an impression of our acreage and crops; but it is the farmer, the mechanic and the merchant who are the real capital of the country. Their character, energy, intelligence, thrift and practical sagacity constitute our real wealth the wealth which is not subject to the ﬂuctuations of the market or the untimely conditions of the weather. This volume tells the story of material growth as fully and more comprehensively than most books but it tells also the story of America as it is written in the life, character and habits of the American man and woman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial History of the United States The industrial development of the United States has followed lines similar to those of European nations, - advancing slowly up to the end of the eighteenth century and after that gathering greater speed and momentum. Here, as in Europe, the growth has been accompanied by the use of machinery, by specialization, division of labor, concentration, growing complexity of organization, and, finally, by an increasing degree of public control. This text follows a topical rather than a chronological method of treatment. Nevertheless, allowing for an inevitable overlapping of events, it seems possible to distinguish four major periods of development, roughly divided as follows: (1) the colonial period of simple domestic economy and of dependence upon foreign trade, extending from the beginnings of permanent settlements to 1763; (2) the period of transition from colonial to national economic life, 1763 to about 1825; (3) the period of national consolidation and isolation, 1825 to 1860; and (4) a period of readjustment, marked by combination and organization growing out of severe competition, by public regulation of industry, and by all the new problems resulting from the closing of the frontier. The text emphasizes three principal ideas, foremost among which is the effect upon a people of centuries of a constantly moving frontier. It is difficult to estimate the influence of the fact that since the beginnings of American history every day has been "moving day" for large numbers of the people. They went into the West, crude, untamed, unshackled by tradition, out of touch with the old home culture, and often out of the reach of regularly established law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economy: The Self-Denying Depositor and Prudent Paymaster at the Bank of Thrift This is an extreme case, but it is typical of the early frugality of thousands who have risen from poverty and ignorance to fame and fortune. Indeed, so common have youthful struggles with hardship been in America that an English tourist named birth in a log cabin and pinch ing poverty as necessary preparatives for future great ness here. Of course we all know that our country has passed the log-cabin stage in its development, but it still holds true, and always will, that a boy who is willing to deny himself in order to improve himself will rise in the world. He may not, like Moran, become a successful exhibitor in the galleries of London and Paris, associate of the National Academy, and member of the American Water Color Society and of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts but, in his own sphere and in his own way, he is sure to grow into a larger life because of his sacrifices. I will give five pounds toward the expenses of the city mission, said a Scotchman, without solicitation, to a clergyman whom he met on the street.
