Summary "A Corner in Corn; or, How a Chicago Boy Did the Trick" by A Self-made Man is a fictional story likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Vance Thornton, a young man working for a successful speculator, Jared Whitemore, in Chicago. The plot unfolds as Vance embarks on a critical mission to close significant corn options, navigating a world of market manipulation, betrayal, and high-stakes business. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the bustling office of Jared Whitemore, where tension is palpable due to Mr. Vyce, the bookkeeper, harboring ulterior motives against young Vance. With hints of corruption and a planned conspiracy against Whitemore, Vance is unwittingly pushed into a showdown that heightens the stakes of his mission. The initial chapters establish the characters and setting, setting up a clash between ambition, loyalty, and deceit as Vance prepares to step into a world fraught with danger and opportunity amidst the backdrop of the corn market.
