_A NEW BOOK FOR INVENTIVE BOYS_
=By DANIEL C. BEARD=
=The Jack of All Trades=
=OR, NEW IDEAS FOR AMERICAN BOYS=
=Profusely Illustrated. Square 8vo, $2.00=
No writer for boys has a larger or more enthusiastic following than
Mr. Dan. Beard, and the announcement of a new book by him should be
welcome news to his many young friends. “The Jack of All Trades” has
been written in response to a direct demand from boys from all over
the United States and many parts of the British Provinces. From their
letters the author discovered that there was a great demand for more
material along the lines of the “American Boy’s Handy Book” and “The
Outdoor Handy Book.” “The Jack of All Trades” presents a vast number
of new ideas which any boy can put into execution, and which will be a
source of endless delight.
