A VG example. 16 pp. Sheet music printed throughout. 8-3/16" x 5-5/16" <br/><br/>"The liquor issue because of its moral social economic and industrial bearing on the public welfare concerns the interest of practically every citizen. By adding to this issue declarations on other important issues which the old parties have neglected the Prohibitionists have evolved a strong national platform of action which appeals to many patriotic voters. Cynics may say 'you cannot win' but the Gallup survey shows that there are 18000000 believeres sic in Prohibition in the United States. This means we have the numbers.

[4], 5-254, [2], 8 [ads], pages. This portion of Carr's life story begins after his experience as a submariner in WWI. He serves as an officer of the Mercantile Marine and experiences incredible adventures and hardships before deciding to move his young family from England to New Brunswick. Times are tough in his new land. He describes the local poverty and exposes the awful social problems of rural New Brunswick, as well as his dramatic adventures at work, with a local trapper and as a member of the C.P.R. police. In short, Carr was a man's man and this book is full of manly adventures. Later in life, Carr [1895-1959] became very concerned about what he viewed as plans for world government and wrote Pawns in the Game and Red Fog Over America, books which sold by the hundreds of thousand. The present work is vital in understanding the background and motivations of this fascinating man. Above-average wear to publisher's black cloth. Binding intact. Gift greetings upon front free endpaper. Spine leaning. Dust jacket not included. Not pretty but a worthy reading copy. Book
