Excerpt from The Boy Craftsman: Practical Ad Profitable Ideas for a Boy's Leisure Hours
When a boy has learned the proper care and use of tools, and is able to turn out neatly executed work, he will find the occupation a profitable one, there being an unlimited number of things he can make in his Shop.
Doll-houses for girl relatives, toys for brothers and cousins, and articles for the household, such as are described in following chapters, are a few of the many things he can construct. Many of these are salable articles, besides being suitable for birthday and Christ mas gifts, and should bring a neat sum of money to the young carpenter.
A knowledge of carpenter work also develops in a boy a handiness for devising and putting together articles and apparatus for his own use.
