First Edition. James Montgomery Flagg dustjacket art and illustrations. An Uncommon Ferber title. Jock McChestesney, just out of college, serene in his English fitting suit and the perfection of his shirt, tie, collar and scarf-pin. Jack went looking for a job with an advertising agency.

First Edition. 66 pp. Rare Wall Street title. From the preface: "In what more or less follows, the connecting thread is a purpose to show how familiar illusions refract upon the Wall Street lens, and how the Stock Exchange mind may be affected by the material in which it works. Except as they practice the trade of money with strange, three-edged tools, Wall Street folk are like other folk who happen to be anywhere else. The secret of understanding is to get their point of view.The easiest way into Wall Street is by the Hall of Delusions, through which many have entered who forgot to return. That door stands always wide open. No legend of warning affronts the eye. There ought to be one, and it should read: 'No Safe Conduct Here.' The easiest way out is at the end of the book. Between here and there are a Hoodoo, a Banker, a Wolf; descriptions of things and of people only as queer as true, hearsay of things which perplex the belief, and a conclusion which ought to appear of itself, to wit: That everywhere life's illusions are all of the same sheer stuff; variety is a trick of refraction.
