The tone is instructional and focused on actionable checklists and scaling suggestions to help readers launch and expand modest enterprises.
Here is a profitable business you can get into without capital.
Go to your druggist and buy a few packages of dye. Experiment by coloring old clothes or rags. When you learn how to do the work perfectly, either advertise in the want ad column, or solicit work by personal calls. Every one has clothes, curtains, carpets or something which can be made to look good as new if they were only dyed. The cost of the dyes is negligible—it is practically all profit.
