One Thousand Ways to Make Money
by Page Fox
About the author
Page Fox is the credited author of One Thousand Ways to Make Money, a how-to business book published in New York by The Abbey Press in 1900. The book presents itself as a wide-ranging guide for readers who wanted better wages, new jobs, home-based income, business ideas, investment suggestions, and practical ways to improve their prospects.
Reliable catalog and public-domain sources confirm the book and its publication details, but they offer very little verified biographical information about the author. Because of that, Page Fox remains a somewhat shadowy figure in print history, known far more through the book than through a well-documented personal story.
What has lasted is the book’s energetic, can-do spirit. Its mix of work advice, entrepreneurial thinking, and concrete examples helped it survive well beyond its original era, and it is still read today as a curious blend of self-help, business manual, and snapshot of turn-of-the-century ambition.
