This collection contains just the things you’ve been looking for—funny jokes and funny sayings. If you want to be popular when out in society you must have some funny things pat to your tongue to say, and when you get the boys and girls to laughing it’s a sure thing you’ll get invited to every party. If you are going to “act out” in the amateur show that the boys are getting up, this book has just the piece or monologue you want. We send it, postpaid, for 25 cents. =STAGE JOKES.= A big hit. Nothing in the way of a book of up-to-date jokes and funny sayings has been published in years as good as this book. It is just the thing you want for home use and for all kinds of entertainments, and we can best convince you of its merits by naming some of the well-known professionals who have contributed their best: Weber and Fields, Rogers Brothers, Ezra Kendall, DeWolf Hopper, Joe Flynn, Mark Murphy, Marshall P. Wilder, George Thatcher, Nat M. Wills, Lew Dockstader, Joe Welch, Charlie Case, —and many more just as well known. You can see why this book is so much better than others—it is not “written to order” by any one man, but contains the best efforts of nearly fifty of our best and most popular comedians. Nos. 1 and 2 now ready. Either book, complete, 25 cents. =HOT-STUFF JOKELETS.= Hand-lettered and illustrated. “The Unkissed Maid”; “A Fool Story in Three Chapters”; “Monologue,” by Edwards and Ronney; “The Chaser”; “Get Your Money’s Worth”—and hundreds of other choice things are illustrated with the funniest cartoons you ever saw. There is positively nothing on the market to equal this book. So original is it that the advance orders from the news and book dealers totaled 25,000. If you want the best, and appreciate an artistic publication, send for “Hot-Stuff Jokelets.” Price, 25 cents. =CARTER’S MAGIC AND MAGICIANS.= There is no use talking, but the girl or boy, man or woman, who can do a few simple card tricks is the “cock of the walk” in any sort of social gathering. The tricks in this book are so clearly explained and illustrated that it takes but a very little while to get proficient in the art. The girls flock ’round you as thick as flies on a “squashed” tomato in the sun. There’s nothing like it. You may not be sporty, you may not spend money with them, but if you can—“by a simple twist of the wrist”; “now you see it and now you don’t”; “the more you watch the less you know”—and do it well, you are just the real fellow. This book is the latest and best on the market. All the new card tricks and sleight-of-hand monkey-doodle business. Price, 25 cents.
