塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 226
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The society grew. It established a store for the sale of food, firing, clothes, and other necessaries. In a few years the members set on foot the Co-operative Corn-mill. They increased the capital by the issue of one-pound shares, and began to make and sell clothes and shoes. They also sold drapery. But the principal trade consisted in the purchase and sale of provisions--butchers' meat, groceries, flour, and such-like. Notwithstanding the great distress during the period of the cotton famine, the society continued to prosper. From the first, it set apart a portion of its funds for educational purposes, and established a news-room, and a library, which now contains over six thousand volumes.

白话
社团不断发展。它建立了一个商店，销售食品、燃料、衣服和其他必需品。几年后，成员们创办了合作玉米磨坊。他们通过发行一英镑的股份增加资本，开始制作和销售衣服和鞋子。他们也销售布匹。但主要业务是购买和销售食品——肉、杂货、面粉等。尽管在棉花饥荒期间困难重重，社团仍持续繁荣。从一开始，他们就拨出一部分资金用于教育，建立了新闻室和图书馆，现在藏书超过六千册。
