How To Make Money and How To Keep It.: The Keys To Creating Personal Wealth And Financial Security.

" In this country, the fountains of wealth are open to all. Few avail themselves of the opportunity presented to accumulate a fortune, while every one of able body and sound mind can make himself independent of labor, if not achieve a fortune in time. As far as history, either sacred or profane, leads us back over the toiling masses of mankind, the struggles for wealth stand as beacon-lights above their efforts of every other kind. Within these labyrinths, and at every stand-point of the historian, the eternal desire for gain shows itself in almost every motive, and has nerved to action almost every toiling hand. These struggles spring from necessities implanted in man's very existence; and however high-born or depressed in the scale of life an individual may be, his nature demands sustenance, and whether he labors for it himself or not, some one must fulfill the necessity and till the ground for his sake."CONTENTS: Chapter I.
