Making a Living

1910
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Making a Living
B-

This time it's a how-to for a man, a poet who starts Hill Mill Meal, with the help of inherited land and some hard-working Italians.  His father thinks he should make as much money as he can, like his younger brother, but he just wants to make enough of a living to support a wife.  The story is as much about the quality of life and true success as it is about how to get consumers hooked on eating chestnuts.  And it includes an electric car.
