JOHN HENRY. (125th Thousand)
By Hugh McHugh. “‘John Henry’ has just ‘butted’ its way in between the literary bars and capered over the book counters to the tune of 12,000 copies before its publishers could recover their breath.
“Every page is as catchy as a bar from a popular song.
“The slang is as correct, original and smart as the newest handshake from London.
“In the lottery of humorous books ‘John Henry’ seems to approximate the capital prize.”—N. Y. Journal.
