Among other famous plungers who appear in this book are J. D. Armour and Joe Leiter. Illustrated with photographs. 249 pp. Very good in gold cloth - usual toning to the pages, some soiling to the covers, but a tight and straight copy. Comment "a very interesting record" on the front pastedown.

Edward Jerome Dies, b. 1891, was a financial journalist who later formed a public relations bureau, then became president of the National Soybean Processors Association from the late 1930s to 1945. This, his first book, is a lucid exposition of the workings of the Grain Exchange at the Chicago Board of Trade. In particular, the author explains the value of short-selling and futures trading as part of the marketing system so valuable to producers and dealers. He went on to write many more books about "big business," the relevancy of which has not changed over the years.
