B. W. (Benjamin Wheeler) Dyer

Known in print as B. W. Dyer, Benjamin Wheeler Dyer wrote About Sugar Buying for Jobbers, a practical guide explaining how wholesalers could reduce risk by using refined sugar futures. The book survives through Project Gutenberg and is aimed less at general readers than at people working directly in the trade.

Reliable web sources connect him closely with the sugar business itself. The history page of B.W. Dyer & Company says Benjamin Wheeler Dyer, Jr. took charge of a family sugar business in 1903 and that the B.W. Dyer & Company name was formally established in 1912, suggesting that his writing grew out of hands-on experience in the industry rather than purely academic interest.

I could confirm his identity as Benjamin Wheeler Dyer and his association with the sugar trade, but I did not find strong, trustworthy biographical details beyond that from the sources available here. I also could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no profile image is included.
