Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an involved accounting document from a 19th century American railroad company, the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. It contains presentations by the managers of the company, outlining their plans for restructuring debt and improving the company's financial position. The book is primarily concerned with securing funding for paying off the company's large outstanding debt, as well as reducing ongoing fixed charges in order to increase profit margins and return to solvency. The author, Frederick B. Gowen, expounds on the vast coal reserves owned by the company and argues that they represent a highly valuable asset. Nevertheless, Gowen also discusses weaknesses in the company's management and weaknesses in its financial strategy, and presents various plans to rectify these issues. The book provides insight into the challenges faced by American railroad companies in the late 19th century, as well as the financial strategies and accounting practices of the era. Furthermore, its discussion of the company's coal reserves offers a glimpse into the importance of natural resources in the development of the American economy.
