finery Market, 1925-1950 (Cambridge, Harvard University Press,
1958). 233 PP-
A "modest revision" of a Columbia University doctoral dissertation, this schol-
arly study of regional market structure and operation focuses chiefly on the present,

pointing to the presence of "moderate but persistent oligopoly," the author con-
cludes that competition in the area studied has been an effective market influence.
