This vintage hardcover edition of “How to read a profit and loss statement,” published in 1927, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early 20th-century world of finance and accounting.

Stockwell, a respected authority on business practices of the era, this practical guide was designed to help credit managers, bankers, and investors navigate the complexities of financial statements.
In the aftermath of the First World War and the economic upheavals of the 1920s, understanding profit and loss statements became crucial for those involved in lending, investing, and managing credit risk. Stockwell’s work provided a valuable resource for professionals seeking to make informed decisions based on a company’s financial performance.
