Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stories of Thrift for Young Americans
One of our richest men has said: Thrift is such a simple thing - and it means so much. It is the founda tion of success in business, of contentment in the home, of standing in society. Perhaps it is because thrift is such a simple thing that so many of us have only a slight acquaintance with it. This country is full of rich and wonderful things, and the boy and the girl, long before they are out of the grammar school, set their hearts on attaining some of these wonders as quickly as possible. They overlook the simple joys and the simple habits, not realizing that the world's treasures are obtained only by those who have first mastered the art of simple living.
