Dollars and Sense

Cut a melon, William Crosbie Hunter warns, and friends will gather eagerly beneath your shade tree to eat it. How many would have helped you raise it in the sun?

In this 1908 revised guide, written from what Hunter calls thirty-two years in the school of practical experience, the business world is a place of hard knocks, tempting shortcuts and tests of character. He speaks to employers and employees alike, especially the young worker hoping to advance: success, he insists, begins with giving value before expecting a reward—and knowing when to say no. A weak moment can cost more than money; it can put credit, livelihood and self-respect at risk. Can backbone and plain good sense turn life’s setbacks into a harvest of their own?
