Economy & Business
P. T. Barnum, the great American showman of the 19th century, wrote this short book about making and keeping money. He certainly had life experiences that qualify him for the subject--he started a small newspaper in his twenties, bought and transformed a museum into a showplace for curiosities, built a circus empire that gave performances in America and Europe, promoted a performing tour of a singer, fell into debt in the 1850s and pulled himself out by lecture tours, was a mayor, and founded a hospital. An unabridged edition, to include: Don't Mistake Your Vocation - Select the Right Location - Avoid Debt - Persevere - Whatever You Do, Do It with All Your Might - Use the Best Tools - Don't Get Above Your Business - Learn Something Useful - Let Hope Predominate, But Be Not Too Visionary - Do Not Scatter Your Powers - Be Systematic - Read the Newspapers - Beware Of "Outside Operations" - Don't Indorse Without Security - Advertise Your Business - "Don't Read the Other Side" - Be Polite and Kind to Your Customers - Be Charitable - Don't Blab - Preserve Your Integrity
