1911005874New York: Excelsior Publishing Co. 1911. Original Paper Wraps. Good. This 1911 copy of the "19th crop" of "Drummer's Yarns and Funny Jokes" subtitled "Original and Selected American Humor with Many Laughable Illustrations" is typical of a sub-genre of the pulp magazine precursors to comic books widely circulated at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Named for and generally associated with "drummers" or traveling salesmen known for their often entertaining "spiels" laced with jokes and humor to appeal to whomever and whatever they were trying to "sell" these throw-away magazines could be found in train stations tobacco shops barber shops and hotels and diners wherever "drummers" and other travelers were likely to congregate. About 7 x 9 3/4 inches 96 pages in pictorial paper wrappers featuring front-cover illustration of young man in derby and vest with luggage at both feet and wearing large welcoming smile bordered in red against a green background with white lettering. Back cover contains ads for nine other publications including "Hoyle's Games" "Brown's Business Correspondence " and Payne's Social Letter-Writer." Contents include jokes short humorous stories numerous humorous black & white cartoons and illustrations as well as at the back two pages of publisher's ads. Text is complete clean and unmarked. Binding is basically intact and holding well. Spine strip with black lettering including 25-cent original price is badly chipped with large fragments missing. Previous owner's signature and home town written twice on front cover once on back; also pair of one-inch closed tears on front cover fore edge. Back cover stained and worn but all printed matter legible. Keep in mind that this remnant of humor and lifestyle from over a hundred years ago contains examples of humor that is today considered racist and disrespectful of many religions occupations and national origins. It is a small piece of American history created to be read and trashed making any copies that have survived quite scarce and collectable. <br/> <br/> Excelsior Publishing Co. paperback

From page 1: "From the shadows of pre-Revolutionary Boston no single figure emerges in whom sympathetic historians find a greater variety of interest than in the Tory preacher poet and humourist who appears commonly in our annals as the "famous" or "celebrated" Doctor Mather Byles. In days when religious discussion was acrid and local political feelings ran high and vituperation of opponents was often incredibly bitter Mather Byles's witticisms kept Boston laughing immoderately for at least a generation and no doubt tended not a little to the softening of asperities in the popular life."
