Henry Varnum Poor (1812-1905) was a pioneering business analyst, editor, 
and financial writer who, in 1860, founded the Poor Company which began 
supplying financial information at a time when Europe sought to know 
more about its holdings in the newly developing American business and 
investment community. In 1941, Poor's merged with Standard Statistics to 
form the famous financial rating company, Standard & Poor's.

It does not appear as thought this copy has been much read, as only the 
first 150, or so, of the 623 pages have been cut. Also published in 
England by Kegan Paul. Re-published in a cheap edition by Greenwood 
Press in 1969, and more recently in 2001.

Price: $225.00.

Terms of Sale - The price is net in US funds. Payment by check, or 
credit card (MasterCard, VISA, AMEX). Postage and packing charge is $7

Trade Discount - Books offered for sale in these postings are usually 
offered by us at a discount from the prices at which they will be listed 
for sale on the usual out-of-print databases (e.g. Abebooks). 
Consequently, the price indicated above is net to all, with no further 
discounts being available. Notwithstanding, Greenfield Books does 
reciprocate a discount to book dealers who are members of a national 
association affiliated with the International League of Antiquarian 
Booksellers (ILAB). We will also consider extending a discount to other 
full time book dealers who advertise their books on-line, and whose 
publicly stated Terms of Sale includes the offer of a trade discount. 
However, any such discount is only applicable to books offered for sale 
either at our web site (URL below), or on the aforementioned 
out-of-print databases.
