All (Frightfully Unofficial) About an Old Friend of Mine What He Most Probably Was. What He Most Certainly Will Be, and Who Has Done This? Why the Cat.

"All (Frightfully Unofficial) About an Old Friend of Mine" by Thomas C. Gash is a humorous story from the late 1800s that pokes fun at how society treated workers in the business world. It's a funny but serious look into the problems that workers faced, highlighting the big differences between how much money bosses made and how much their dedicated employees struggled. The story centers on a bank clerk's journey, showing the challenges and disappointments he faced while working in a system focused on money. He hopes to be appreciated for his hard work, only to find out that bosses don't always care about their workers. The book uses funny pictures and words to point out the unfairness of the time, where workers' dreams often clashed with the uncaring attitudes of those in charge.
