Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 61-8047 Copyright, 1924, by EDITION LIMITED TO 750 COPIES PRINTED AND BOUND IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY BOOK CRAFTSMEN ASSOCIATES, INC., NEW YORK FOREWORD THE following articles, except the last one and a table of figures, were written in 1916 and 1917. They have been revised but not materially changed. The tragedies of the west, south and north, more especially in the cattle business, are described in the concluding chapter, written in 1923. The reader will also find the statistics of the two large Scotch companies regarding prices, losses, increase, income, expenses and taxes, very interesting. Except where figures were available this book was written from memory-further, it was a labor of love. J. C. |
