Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from War-Time Silhouettes
Making and thinking about money has not left Mr. Reiss time to consider comfort, but for Art, in the form' of pictures and other saleable commodities, he has a certain respect. Such things if bought judiciously have been known to increase in value in the most extra ordinary manner, and as this generally happens long after their creators are dead, he leaves living artists severely alone. The essence of successful speculation is to limit your liability.
Mr. Reiss is a short, stoutish, ungainly. Man past seventy, and he suffers from chronic indigestion. He is one of those people of whom it is difficult to believe that they. Ever were young.
