 256 First Family of Health: Launched 52 Years Ago Vitamin Cottage rides health-conscious wave. When Margaret Isely began going door-to-door in a business that would become Vitamin Cottage, it was 1955 and the benefits of natural foods and supplements were largely unknown to consumers.

244 Why does everything always cost more than we have?
 Part II in a series on the startup challenges of Wiesner Publishing. In our household, as our six kids were growing up, occasionally money would get thin. Either my wife or I would extend our arms, palms up — the universal sign for being out of money — and say, "Where did it all go, Blanch?" referring to some comedian somewhere who used the line incessantly. Then we would both chuckle and sit down to figure out what we were going to do. Point: In family financing as well as in business, the job to be done will always expand beyond the money available to do it. Either you do something different or get more money.

We live in a time of great division. Nations against nations – religions against religions, complicated competition with foreign countries. We have a growing underclass in the world and we really don’t know what to do with it. And there are so many other moral, scientific and economic dilemmas we face. As Lincoln said, “A house divided cannot stand.”
