OUT FOR THE COIN

“Crackerjack Volume of Comedy” in which John Henry and his
delightful friends find a new field for their stirring and amusing

I NEED THE MONEY
By the author of “John Henry.” “‘I Need the Money,’ the sixth of the
‘Hugh McHugh’ books, is capital like its fellows. The laugh lies
beneath the bewildering fantastics of slang. It cannot be analyzed,
for really there is nothing tangible to account for the laugh save
the surprise of the delightful argot.”—_San Francisco Call._

I’M FROM MISSOURI
By the author of “John Henry.” “‘I’m from Missouri’ presents John
Henry as campaign manager for ‘Uncle Pete,’ who is running for mayor
against ‘Uncle William,’ backed by ‘Bunch,’ The reappearance of
these well-known characters brings joy to the hearts of the
laughter-loving public, and as a political satirist the author wins
out once more.”—_Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer._

YOU CAN SEARCH ME
By the author of “John Henry.” “To read ‘You Can Search Me’ is to
laugh continuously. The amusing adventures of John Henry and his
friend Bunch make as funny a book as George V. Hobart has written.
The author’s ingenuity in getting these two characters into
difficulties, and his facility for getting them out, is refreshing
and should be read to be appreciated.”—_Boston Herald._

GET NEXT
By the author of “John Henry.” “John Henry is still swinging cheerily
down the Lane of Laughter, sharing his smiles and his good nature
with his thousands upon thousands of friends. John Henry’s
latest—number nine in the series of immensely popular books—is
called ‘Get Next,’ and it contains some of the most intensely
mirth-provoking monologues this humorist has devised up to
date.”—_Nashville American._ Illustrations by =Gordon H. Grant=.
Cloth bound, gilt top, 75 cents.
