The Promoters: A Novel Without A Woman is a novel written by William Hawley Smith in 1904. The story revolves around the lives of two men, John Storm and Peter Bond, who are both ambitious and determined to make it big in the world of business. The novel takes place in the early 1900s and explores the themes of greed, corruption, and the pursuit of wealth.John Storm is a young man who comes from a poor background but has a sharp mind for business. He is determined to make a name for himself and become successful. Peter Bond is an older man who has already made a fortune in the business world. He takes John under his wing and teaches him the tricks of the trade.Together, John and Peter embark on a series of business ventures, each one more ambitious than the last. They encounter many obstacles along the way, including corrupt politicians, greedy businessmen, and even each other. Despite these challenges, they remain focused on their goal of becoming wealthy and powerful.The novel is notable for its lack of female characters. It is entirely focused on the world of men and their pursuit of success. The absence of women in the story reflects the societal norms of the time, where women were often excluded from the business world.Overall, The Promoters: A Novel Without A Woman is a compelling tale of ambition and greed. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of business in the early 1900s and the lengths that some people will go to in order to achieve success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
