I NEED THE MONEY
By the author of “John Henry.” “‘I Need the Money,’ the sixth of the ‘Hugh McHugh’ books, is capital like its fellows. The laugh lies beneath the bewildering fantastics of slang. It cannot be analyzed, for really there is nothing tangible to account for the laugh save the surprise of the delightful argot.”—San Francisco Call. Illustrations by Gordon H. Grant. Cloth, gilt top, 75 cents.
I’M FROM MISSOURI
By the author of “John Henry.” “‘I’m from Missouri’ presents John Henry as campaign manager for ‘Uncle Pete,’ who is running for mayor against ‘Uncle William,’ backed by ‘Bunch,’ The reappearance of these well-known characters brings joy to the hearts of the laughter-loving public, and as a political satirist the author wins out once more.”—Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer. Illustrations by Gordon H. Grant. Cloth bound, gilt top, 75 cents.
YOU CAN SEARCH ME
By the author of “John Henry.” “To read ‘You Can Search Me’ is to laugh continuously. The amusing adventures of John Henry and his friend Bunch make as funny a book as George V. Hobart has written. The author’s ingenuity in getting these two characters into difficulties, and his facility for getting them out, is refreshing and should be read to be appreciated.”—Boston Herald. Illustrations by Gordon H. Grant. Cloth bound, gilt top, 75 cents.
GET NEXT
By the author of “John Henry.” “John Henry is still swinging cheerily down the Lane of Laughter, sharing his smiles and his good nature with his thousands upon thousands of friends. John Henry’s latest—number nine in the series of immensely popular books—is called ‘Get Next,’ and it contains some of the most intensely mirth-provoking monologues this humorist has devised up to date.”—Nashville American. Illustrations by Gordon H. Grant. Cloth bound, gilt top, 75 cents.
THE ABANDONED FARM
By Mary J. Holmes. “In this novel, Mrs. Holmes’ last work, she has shown that wonderful versatility of talent for which she is distinguished. No matter where she takes us, whether among the high-born or the lowly, North or South, East or West, she seems perfectly at home, and makes her readers feel so. When you have finished “The Abandoned Farm” you will feel that without leaving your home you have had a delightful summer outing.”—Nashville American. Cloth bound. $1.00.
