Description
Ganton & Co.; A Story of Chicago Commercial and Social Life, by Arthur Jerome Eddy. Author of "Tales of a Small Town," "Recollections and Impressions of Whistler," etc. Illustrated by Thomas Fogarty. Chicago: A. C. McClurg & Co., 1908. 415p.
Ganton and Company is by far the biggest business in the Chicago stockyards, and John Ganton, Sr. is the man who has made it all that it is. Manipulating for profit is second nature for him, whether through payoffs to union leaders or by quiet stock market maneuvers, so he is shocked when some of his plans backfire and result in the death of a young friend. Even more upsetting is the news that his son Will, who is expected to inherit the business, has become engaged to the daughter of a long-time enemy. In Ganton & Co., romance, social life, and business tactics at the turn of the century are described in a style typical of the times.
Book Review Digest, 1908, p. 108-9.
