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.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... PART II LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT Herewith are presented a number of Little Talks on Thrift. These have appeared from time to time in the newspapers of the United States as a part of the educational campaign of the American Society for Thrift. The Author desires to take advantage of this opportunity in acknowledging, on behalf of the Thrift Society, his appreciation of the splendid cooperation which has been accorded by the press of the country in this work. Money-making And Money-saving An eminent European financier whose family for many generations has been a power in international banking affairs once said that it required a good deal of boldness and a great deal of caution to make a great fortune, and that when you got it, it required ten times greater wit to keep it. There is a distinct difference between the power of making money and the power of saving money. Making money is largely a knack--a special gift. Financiers, like poets, are born, not made. But thrift is just as essential to the money-maker as it is to the money-saver. No matter how shrewd a man may be nor how keenly developed his instincts for acquiring wealth, he will never be successful unless an element of thrift is woven into all his activities. The so-called plunger--the meteoric financier--may, at times, seem able to defy prudent practices and the principles of thrift. However, such success is seldom permanent. Wealth gained by a sort of legerdemain rather than through the working out of sound business practices nearly always proves transitory. The majority of men who have built up great fortunes, though they have, in many instances, risen rapidly, owe their success primarily to thrift. It was this that gave them the start they needed, and it was the development of...

Excerpt from The New American Thrift, Vol. 87: The Annals; January 1920 That individual, that family or that nation which consumes daily or yearly all that it produces can never progress. If it considers today only, if it takes no thought Of the future, it is doomed to stagnation if not to death. But by devoting part of current energy to producing tools and other equipment, the productive capacity Of following years is increased, and it soon becomes possible to satisfy more and more cur rent wants and at the same time to devote more energies each year to the increase of equipment. This process is cumulative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Excerpt from Thrift and Conservation: How to Teach It During the few years past, and especially from the beginning of the great war, the term thrift has been much more in the public mind and on the public tongue than heretofore. Men and women are talking thrift and economy; children are writing essays on thrift and are earning and saving as never before. There are lectures and published plans and outlines telling how to earn and invest and save; how to avoid waste; how to make best use Of time and talents and money; how to preserve and improve the health; how to conserve our natural resources of soil and water and forest, so that they may remain the inheritance of peoples for all time to come.

Franklin S Thrift written by David Blankenhorn and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009-05 with Business & Economics categories.
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 the idea and practice of thrift have been a vital 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 thrift moved into new domains in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. 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.
