Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. ix, [i], 187 pp., 8vo, cloth, frontispiece portrait of Rogers, numerous in-text facsimile illustrations of some of Rogers's work. A wonderful and meaningful association copy, with a substantive three-page a.l.s. from Rogers to William Bond Wheelwright ("Dear Billy Wheelwright") dated July 25, 1943, addressed from Rogers's home in Danbury, CT. In the letter, Rogers thanks Wheelwright for his complimentary remarks on the present book, opines that its chapters on paper are "the weakest part of the book," comments a bit about paper, and apologizes to Wheelwright for omitting his work (presumably "Printing Papers [1936]) from the list, probably referring to "Some Useful Books for the Book Designer" included in Paragraphs on Printing. Wheelwright was a publisher (Bond Wheelwright Co.) and later also wrote "The Mystery of Hamlet" (1950). This copy was presented to Wheelwright in Christmas 1949 (typed note laid in, "To Bond & Thea Wheelwright in recognition of their achievement, The Mystery of Hamlet"). The book is in very good condition, with a bit of mild rubbing at some edges and on the covers, contents fine. The third page of the a.l.s. is tipped onto the front pastedown; the first and second page leaf loosely laid in (having separated from being stapled to that third page).

There is a book plate inside the rear cover that reads, in part, This book has been paid for by Hugh W. Long and Company, Incorporated.It contains reference to Fundamental Investors, Inc. and Investors Management Fund, Inc, mutual investment companies. William T. Cobb, though a native of Boston, made New York his home city and became a prominent write on business and financial subjects. His intimate knowledge of the city is reflected in his story of the "Oyster Bay" Roosevelts. This is the story of ten generations of a family as it is woven into the fabric of American life. Roosevelt and Son had significant financial ties to the Investors Management Fund. Roosevelt & Son was an American investment banking firm connected with the Roosevelt family for nearly two centuries. The firm was among the oldest banking houses on Wall Street. Many of the male members of the Roosevelt family worked for the firm in some capacity. Roosevelt & Son traces its history back to 1797, just seven years after Alexander Hamilton issued $80,000,000 of United States Government bonds, setting off the modern American banking system. The firm was founded as a hardware business by James Jacobus Roosevelt at 97 Maiden Lane in Manhattan. James' son Cornelius Roosevelt would join the business in 1818 as a partner and the firm would be renamed James I. Roosevelt & Son. Roosevelt & Son entered banking in the early decades of the 19th century by discounting the notes of various customers of the hardware business and later other merchants in New York City. In 1824, the Roosevelts were involved in the formation of Chemical Bank. By 1850, Roosevelt had transitioned from the hardware trade to the importation of plate glass which was an important component of the construction boom going on at that time in New York. In 1865, Cornelius Roosevelt retired from the company and by that time, in the mid-1860s, Roosevelt & Son had begun the transition toward becoming a full-fledged banking house, primarily focused on private banking and investments. In 1876, the company sold its plate glass business to an English company and from that point forward was focused exclusively on financial services. The firm was known primarily for its "unbiased investment counsel" which the firm provided to a client base that included institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals and various trusts and estates. In 1928, W. Emlen Roosevelt, first cousin of President Theodore Roosevelt, celebrated 50 years as a partner in the firm. In 1931, Van Santvoord Merle-Smith, Irving Brown, Charles B. Robinson and Charles E. Weigold were proposed as general partners in the firm. John K. Roosevelt was proposed as a special partner, as was the estate of Emlen Roosevelt, a former general partner of the firm who died in 1930. In 1934, in response to the passage of the Glass-Steagall Act Roosevelt & Son separated into three firms: Roosevelt & Son continued under its original name under the direction of George Emlen Roosevelt and his brother Philip James Roosevelt. Roosevelt & Son operated principally as an investment management firm. Roosevelt & Weigold was headed by Archibald Roosevelt and Charles E. Weigold, and operated primarily as an underwriter of municipal bonds. The firm was suspended during World War II, when Roosevelt volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army. In 1946, Roosevelt founded Roosevelt & Cross with Edwin J. Cross. The firm continues to focus on municipal bond underwriting. Dick & Merle Smith was headed by Fairman R. Dick and Van S. Merle-Smith as well as Char.
