Practical books based on facts, painstakingly ascertained and
suggestively compared. "The Psychology of Advertising" and "The Theory
and Practice of Advertising" together form a well-rounded treatment of
the whole subject, a standard set for every man with anything to make
known to the public. The author is Director of the Bureau of
Salesmanship Research, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Director of the
psychological laboratory of Northwestern University, and President of
the National Association of Advertising Teachers. He has written many
other important books, including "The Psychology of Public Speaking,"
"Influencing Men in Business," and "Increasing Human Efficiency in
Business."
Professor Scott's books "will be found of value both by the psychologist
and the advertiser, and of unique interest to the general public that
reads advertisements."--_Forum_.
"Ought to be in the hands of everyone who cares whether or not his
advertising brings returns."--_Bankers' Magazine._

Cookery
Over 2000 Recipes Completely Indexed Illustrated

OFFICIAL LECTURER United States Food Administration
_The_ LITERARY DIGEST _says_:
Of all the books that have been published which treat of the culinary
art, few have came so near to presenting a complete survey of the
subject as Mrs. Allen's. If evidence were needed to prove that cookery
is so much of a practical art as to have become a noble science, Mrs.
Allen has supplied it. There are more than two thousand recipes in this
book! No reader need be an epicure to enjoy the practical information
that is garnered here. The burden of the author's message is, "Let every
mother realize that she holds in her hands the health of the family and
the welfare and the progress of her husband ... and she will lay a
foundation ... that will make possible glorious home partnership and
splendid health for the generations that are to be."
In times of Hooverized economy, such a volume will find a welcome,
because the author strips from her subject all the camouflage with which
scientists and pseudoscientists have invested in. The mystery of the
calory, that causes the average housewife to throw up her hands, is
tersely solved. The tyro may learn how to prepare the simplest dish or
the most elaborate. The woman who wants to know what to do and how to do
it will find the book a master-key to the subject of which it treats.
