      Note/s:
      • Author's note: To My Readers,-
        Because our mode of selling this book guarantees its entry into many homes, where there are young children of an impressionable age, I feel it is my duty to refrain from discussion on sex problems or religion. Lately many books dealing with sex have been sold indiscriminatley to the young people. To the clean-minded and pure-living among us this class of literature is distasteful, as the problems of sex and disease are easily solved by the clean-living who do not seek to create the problem. This book is fiction, clean and free from suggestion; a book that tells a story for young and old; a book with a purpose that will not degrade but possibly uplift. Into your hands I put this book, with the full assurance that I have given voice to your sentiments one and all. (Preface)
      • 'Regard the quality rather than the quantity of what you read.
        The credentials of the Salesman selling this book have been fully enquired into, and on account of his excellent character, he has been engaged to act as the personal representative of the Author, in bringing this book before you.
        Please note-This book does not deal with sex, and is clean and wholesome.' (p.2)
