One Thousand Ways to Make a Living, edited by Harold Morse Dunphy, is a collection of a thousand numbered money-making plans gathered, the publisher says, from every corner of North America and some from Europe. Each plan is a short account of how a real person earned an income: weaving fern baskets, acting as a professional hostess, running a one-cow dairy, repairing lawn mowers, starting a tea room, raising Angora cats, typing manuscripts at home, storing window screens for the winter, publishing a cookbook or a theater-goers' weekly. An introduction on the way to wealth and a chapter on protecting oneself against fraudulent schemes precede the plans. The book is a catalogue of small-scale American enterprise in the early twentieth century. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
