Carling, George. Richard Elliott, financier. $1.50. Page.
Trained in an unscrupulous school of finance, the hero of Mr. Carling’s tale shows how material success can be attained by very corrupt practices. An eavesdropping stenographer rises to the position of trust magnate and the rounds by which he did ascend materially are scathingly marked off. It is a sort of “crack o’ doom” warning to “high finance” aspirants.
