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.
