Classic critique of Wall Street written in a jocular vein, notable for the illustrations by Peter Arno, quite scarce in the first edition, especially so with the original dust jacket. As related on the jacket flap, "The rustic was being shown around Manhattan. 'There,' said the guide, pointing expansively to the East River, 'are the great Wall Street brokers' yachts.' 'Where are the customers' yachts?' was the naïve reply. It is also the title of this book."

Jacket with some extremity wear, a few edge tears and chips, ¾x½" triangle missing from top of rear panel; very good in like jacket.
