“Calumet ‘K’”
By S. Merwin and H. K. Webster
“Calumet ‘K’” is a two-million-bushel grain-elevator, and this story tells how Charlie Bannon built it “against time.” The elevator must be done by December 31. There are persons that are interested in delaying the work, and it is these, as well as the “walking delegates,” that Bannon has to fight. The story of how they tried to “tie up” the lumber two hundred miles away, and of how he outwitted them and just “carried it off,” shows the kind of thing that Bannon can do best.
DAILY MAIL.—“Most remarkable story.... The story makes an epic—the epic of a sleepless, tireless man who can never be beaten. Every young man who is to-day starting out on the business of life should read it.”
SUNDAY SPECIAL.—“No romance of the Middle Ages surpasses this story in stirring interest, virility, and strength. It is a moving picture of the resistless American of to-day, and, as such, is worth a hundred average novels.”
SCOTSMAN.—“It is an interesting and amusing book, and once taken up will be read to a finish.”
SPECTATOR.—“The story will delight readers who combine mechanical taste with the spirit of practical enterprise.”
