This book is the first of a series planned to describe certain big businesses whose histories and operations concern and should interest the public. The publishers do not wish any one to be deceived into believing that this series is any different from what it pretends to be as now announced. It is planned as an open and above-board presentation frankly putting forth the interesting points of large business enterprises. In the chapters which follow, a large portion of the information as to facts has been obtained through courtesy of officials of the United Fruit Company. The deductions of the author stand on his reputation as a student and an analyst of issues of public concern. This method will be pursued in the preparation of the books of this series, which later will be announced. It is the belief of the publishers that a series of books thus planned will possess an interest and have a real value not only to those who are investors in these great enterprises, but also to a public which is demanding that far-reaching corporations shall give an account of their stewardship.
