Small Industries Build Wealth in the South
A long piece on starting small shops shows how a single baby swing maker grew into a two story mill with forty workers and a village population of about 150. It then follows ladder makers turning profits from five thousand orders, and a scroll saw craftsman expanding to thirty employees. The article argues small industrial ventures, energized by perseverance, outpace large capital, urging many modest shops across the Sunny South to start now. It includes ads for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Darby's Prophylactic Fluid, plus notes on steel rail upgrades and health tips.
