Making the Small Shop Profitable, by John H. Van Deventer, originally published by The American Machinist, New York, NY, 1918. Re-published by Lindsay Publications, Bradley, IL, 1993. 8 1/2 x 11 softcover, 113 pages, ISBN 1-99518-104-4This is "old" new stock - they were bought new from Lindsay years ago, before he retired, and have been in an overstock box all these past few years. These are the last three I have left. These are the Lindsay reproductions - not the newer, "print on demand" reprints that you can barely read. This was Van Deventer's second collection of articles from the “Small Shop Series” of The American Machinist magazine at the turn of the 20th century. The author was pleased to note that this series helped many owners and managers of a small machine shop shift their business from an onerous and pitiable affair, full of financial difficulties, to one of profit and honor.
