What makes these titles so special & A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR VIEWERS: (Scroll down for DVD content) Most of these manuals were written around the first world war through the 1929 depression, a time of industrial growth from an agricultural age to a technological era. (Though many are decidedly more modern) This was a period of time when American innovation and invention shined, when the spirit of self-reliance was not a mere ghost, but a way of living. A time before entire generations were taught to rely on the government whenever they became uncomfortable. While there was war, economic hard times, dust bowls, and the bankers had finally bought enough politicians to own the nation, people were still staunchly AMERICAN in that they wanted to do-it-themselves. Happily, they were also prolific in teaching others - through books and manuals. The tomes they wrote in those days were not generalized, or “dumbed-down” with political correctness. Though there are many processes that, today, have been refined beyond the point of technological ability of the average Citizen, in those days they were inventing the very first processes that worked, and wrote in a specific and correct manner for reproduction of their work by the fellow Citizens. And they contain an astounding amount of detailed information! Not all items will contain as much as this preview of the table of contents for "The Boy Mechanic", but many do - and some contain even more! Quality reproduction of ANY product is valued, but vintage, hand-made products are still much in demand, and often command a much higher sales price than their contemporary plastic, foreign mass-produced equivalent. Many of these might be produced in unassembled (though pre-fitted) "kit form" as science and educational projects - think outside the box! Take pride in your work; use care and an exacting attention to detail in the construction of these products - and I can almost GUARANTEE that they will sell. I am willing to do whatever I can to help you accomplish this: I can build a few of these vintage products myself, but only a few at a time. Same with everybody else, I suppose, unless you are masters of business and productivity. I still have to keep my business running or I’m out a warm place to sleep at night. What I propose is creating space on my website for AMERICAN CITIZENS to advertise and sell their home-made, cottage industry goods and services to others – FREE OF CHARGE – provided that they are 100% AMERICAN MADE and/or serviced. All components must be AMERICAN MADE and all services provided must be provided (in total) by AMERICAN CITIZENS. No foreign nationals in employment. If you can meet this criteria, I will add your business, your product(s), or your services to my site in categorized pages by industry or service. Exclusive pages will be available for a small, one time maintenance fee (I’m thinking like $5-15 dollars, depending on how extensive the page might be) for creating and maintaining the page. I do not need a cut of your sales (well, maybe I do, but I won’t take one), though a sample of your product might be a nice gesture. I own & operate a DVD rental/Book store/General store that is slowly going out of business. I intend to change that. Part of my business strategy is to convert my current format over to a thrift/dollar/surplus store – a business that actually seems to do better in a recession – and any product samples sent to me will go on the shelf, with prominent display. Any that sell will result in pre-paid orders to restock. This will work to both our advantages. One free sample could result in multiple paid orders. If we all work together, we can all stay afloat – and maybe even do quite well. What do you think? If interested in this offer, use the "Contact Us" button in the navigation panel, above, left.
