Description: The Successful Merchant: Sketches of the Life of Mr. Samuel Budgett, Late of Kingswood Hill Author: Arthur, William Title: The Successful Merchant: Sketches of the Life of Mr. Samuel Budgett, Late of Kingswood Hill Publication: Cincinnati: Swormstedt & Poe, 1854 Edition: First American Printing Description: Hardcover. 12mo, cloth good copy, light wear and rubbing to binding, lacking rear flyleaf, text somewhat foxed, old owner's inscription on pastedown. Rising from humble origins, Budgett built up a wholesale grocery business called H.H. & S. Budgett, based in Kingswood Bristol, covering a large area of Southern and Western England and South Wales, which outlasted him by over a century. He was a devoted Wesleyan Methodist, who came close to offering himself as a missionary. Having chosen instead to work as a grocer to support his impoverished parents and siblings, he applied Christian principles to his business, setting improving standards in food purity and working conditions. He also began each day's business with a short Christian service for all staff. Good.
