Excerpt from Success in the Small Shop
In number the smaller are perhaps in the ratio Of 9 to I to the 1arger;1 in variety of work they cover all kinds Of metal working and machinery building from the highest type of manufacturing to the simplest job Of repairing;1 equipment they have everything from the most highly developed, up-to-date machine tools with a full complement Of cutting tools and attachments, to Old lathes, ancient drilling machines, and a few handfuls Of almost worn out small tools; in their management there are as wide differences as can be imagined; and financially they range from heartbreaking failures to successes that bring riches.
These facts were impressed so strongly by the Cleveland data, that a careful study was at once made Of the place occupied by the small shop in the American machine-building industry, and the determination reached to procure and pub lish a series Of articles devoted particularly to its importance, problems and needs. It was intended that the series should comprehend a large number of subjects, such as economic conditions, financing, accounting, management, machine equip ment, small-tool equipment, selection of work, helpful devices, kinks and methods, and the like. The wish was to make the series Of practical use to the many men who were battling with the problems and difficulties of a small shop. The first article was published in the first issue Of January, 1915, and during the year fifty were presented in all. As a natural result, there were numerous comments and discussions about them Offered by readers. These found their regular place in the then current issues Of the American Machinist.
These fifty articles and a part Of the discussions and comments they called forth have now been knit together into book form under the title, Success in the Small Shop. The purpose is to make the material Of further service in this permanent form, with the belief that the information will be helpful, not only to the man who actually owns or manages or works in a small machine shop, but also to men in larger shops where departments are so organized that to all intents and purposes each is a small shop by itself.
