NY: D. Appleton & Co., 1907. 1st edituon, September 1907, so stated. Frontis. and 3 illus. in the style of Charles Dana Gibson. Cover green cloth with silver lettering.; edges rubbed, lower corner of pages dampstained, overall very good copy. 451 pages with 4 pages of ads. This this was a pot-boiler from 1907, a real eye opener that starts with an uncomfortable couple meeting in a park and discussing how they should get a divorce (which really would have stunned a reader back then). The story shifts to a retirement party for outgoing insurance company president Shotwell organized by one Fosdick, who is counting up how much everything cost (paid for by the shareholders and policyholders, of course), and how he reflects on the magnificence as glory(-just as, when he bought for a large sum a picture with a famous name to it, he showed himself to be greater than the painter). Yes, Fosdick is a true bastard, one who has made himself rich as a financier, the kingmaker behind the massive institution of O.A.D. And there, at his other side, is Armstrong, the picked presidential successor to Shotwell and a convenient patsy to control, use, and discard (as he had poor Shotwell). But Armstrong gets a glance at Shotwell’s prepared speech, the one the ex-president was going to give, the one damning Fosdick as a cur and pitying Armstrong for the trap he was now in. And that sets the ball rolling.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Book., D. Appleton & Co., 1907, 3<
