P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 577
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I like, now-a-days to laugh at him about his “chestnut wood fire.” Of course, I did blow the fire in all possible ways, but the result proved that the wood which fed the fire was not chestnut, but the best and soundest old hickory. The situation was everything that could be desired, and I knew that in order to induce manufacturers to establish their business in the new city, a prime requisite was the advantage I could offer to employers, agents and workmen, to secure good and cheap homes in the vicinity of their place of labor. To show the method I adopted to secure this end, I copy from the files of the Bridgeport _Standard_, an offer which I made, and the editorial comment thereon. This offer, I may add, was not so much for the purpose of blowing the fire, which was already fairly roaring with a lively blaze, as for the sake of helping those who were willing to help themselves, and, at the same time, contribute to my happiness, as well as their own, by forwarding the growth of the new city.

白话
巴纳姆现在喜欢拿朋友的“栗木柴火”开玩笑。他当时想尽办法吹火,结果发现烧的不是栗木,而是最结实的老山核桃木。他选址极佳,深知要吸引制造商来新城市设厂,关键是为雇主、代理人和工人提供附近便宜又好的住房。他引用《布里奇波特标准报》上自己提出的条件和编辑评论来说明做法。他说,这与其说是为了吹旺已经熊熊燃烧的火,不如说是帮助那些愿意自助的人,同时推动新城发展,让自己和大家都更幸福。这说明:真正有效的招商,是帮人解决安家问题。
