Dollars and Sense

"Dollars and Sense" by William Crosbie Hunter is a guide from the early 1900s, giving advice for thriving in business and life. Aimed at both bosses and workers, the book highlights that success and happiness aren't just given; they need hard work and good character. Early on it's argued that employers and employees should work together for each other's benefit. Hunter uses a melon as a symbol of how people often want rewards without putting in the time and effort. The book stresses the importance of being able to refuse distractions, making smart choices with money, and keeping to good moral standards. Hunter speaks from his own life experiences, offering what he's learned as a way for readers to find more happiness and grow as people.
