First edition, nice association copy. Joseph Goodman had a seat on the NYSE, ran his own trading firm, was a well-regarded columnist for Forbes for 30 years, and notably penned the following famous pieces of Wall Street advice in his column still remembered today: "A bull makes money, a bear makes money, but a hog makes nothing. The market always does what it should do, but not always when." Meets the following first printing points: tan/light brown cloth (as opposed to green), blind stamped front cover, George H. Doran logo/emblem and the roman numeral "I" on the copyright page. New York: George H. Doran, (1923)
