GOOD GIRL
By Roy L. Foley
The greatest mystery in Nancy Deane’s life was herself. Scarcely a day
passed that she did not say, “I wonder who I really am.”
Then one day Nancy not only found out with crashing suddenness but she
also lost her job.
Which meant she had to look for work in spite of the fact that she was
one of the prominent Deanes.
In quest of a job she is thrown into strange company for her but not so
strange in this jazz-mad, gin-drinking age.
Nancy is a beautiful girl and as a result runs the whole gamut of
experiences that would beset a beautiful young lady from a small town.
As Ginger Varden, sophisticated but big hearted, said, “Listen about the
girl who didn’t know she had ‘it’.”

THE YELLOW STUB
By Ernest Lynn
A furious tale of modern crime, involving a clash between a resolved
youth and modern gangdom. A fast, intriguing exposé of organized crime
in a large city, with its many ramifications and a plot that defies
solution until the breath-taking climax, written by a newspaper reporter
who knows his underworld.
A staid, respectable citizen of Grafton is found murdered in the most
disreputable hotel in town. The community and the victim’s family are
not only shocked but his family is also faced with disgrace because in
the murdered man’s room is found a woman’s handkerchief.
There is one other clue—The Yellow Stub—which proves to be the key link
in an amazing chain of mystery and which plays the principal part in
removing the cloud which might have hung forever over the dead man’s
memory.
With this slender clue, alone and armed only with the weapons of courage
and persistence, the murdered man’s son sets out to solve the mystery
and avenge his father’s slayers. He is led into a vicious labyrinth of
widely ramified modern gangdom, with danger and death lurking in every
shadow, with unbridled passions ruled by avarice and hate.
His task is complicated by two beautiful women, but Jim Rand succeeds in
his mission, with a climax as surprising as it is dramatic.
A stirring story of the triumph of clean youth over safely entrenched,
organized crime, with a thrill on every page.
