 In order for Rudd to make the changes he wanted he needed income, which he gained by using the ACT to promote his own printing school.This allowed him to expand his own business and dreams with printing, and start creating custom cards, letterheads, envelopes, invoices, pamphlets, books, legal documents, and advertisements.That wasn’t the only source of his income though, he also had newspaper subscriptions from catholic and protestant readers in northern and midwestern states.
