塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
But the vow of Martha Crossley was not yet entirely fulfilled: "If the Lord does bless us at this place, the poor shall taste of it." That was what she promised on her husband's entering into possession of Dean Clough Mills; and her sons have nobly fulfilled her promise. In 1864, the extensive business of John Crossley and Sons, with all its mills, machinery, plant, warehouses and stock-in-trade--at Halifax, Kidderminster, Manchester, and London,--was converted into a joint-stock company. The company was formed with the primary design of receiving the co-operation of all parties associated with the business, and with the object of securing a spirit of harmony and the material well-being and profit of the workpeople, clerks, managers, and others interested in the concern. In order to enable the workpeople to join in the business, a large sum of money was lent to them for the purpose of taking up returned shares in the company; and the workpeople took them up to a large extent. A preference was always given to the managers and operatives; and the amount of shares applied for by them was invariably allotted in full.

白话
玛莎·克罗斯利的誓言还没完全兑现:“若主在此地赐福我们,穷人也要尝到甜头。”这是丈夫接手迪恩克劳夫磨坊时她许下的。她的儿子们体面地履行了。1864年,约翰·克罗斯利父子公司的全部生意——哈利法克斯、基德明斯特、曼彻斯特和伦敦的工厂、机器、设备、仓库和存货——改组成股份公司。组建的首要目的,是让所有与生意相关的人参与进来,让工人、职员、经理和其他相关者和谐共事、获得物质利益。为了让工人入股,公司借出一大笔钱帮他们认购退回的股份,工人认购踊跃。经理和操作工总是优先,他们申请的股份一律足额配给。
