Product Description
What do I attribute my ninety-seven years to? A major contributor has to be keeping an active mind by reading, working daily crossword puzzles and of course writing. This book has allowed me to fulfill my desire to remain mentally active and at the same time document the one-man entrepreneurs of the early 1900s. I had no idea that I could recall so many, but with pad and pencil in hand I started a list and before I knew it the count had reached forty-two. Not stopping there I set out to describe each one in as vivid and accurate a detail as I could. I’m hoping that this book can be used as reference for future generations seeking to learn how goods and services were provided many, many years ago.
