Garments created by Bertha Holley give the wearer the distinction
in color and line of an artist’s portrait. Their beauty is
essential, therefore permanent, and raises one forever above the
confusion and extravagance of changing fashion. Moreover, each
garment forms part of an accumulative, interchangeable wardrobe
which may be acquired at once or gradually, as a booklover
acquires books, and when complete enables the possessor to meet
every occasion with variety and charm.

“Hello Huck!”

Recall that golden day when you first read “Huck Finn”? How your
mother said, “For goodness’ sake, stop laughing aloud over that
book. You sound so silly.” But you couldn’t stop laughing.

Today when you read “Huckleberry Finn” you will not laugh so
much. You will chuckle often, but you will also want to weep. The
deep humanity of it—the pathos, that you never saw, as a boy,
will appeal to you now. You were too busy laughing to notice the
limpid purity of the master’s style.

MARK TWAIN

When Mark Twain first wrote “Huckleberry Finn” this land was
swept with a gale of laughter. When he wrote “The Innocents
Abroad” even Europe laughed at it itself.

But one day there appeared a new book from his pen, so spiritual,
so true, so lofty that those who did not know him well were
amazed. “Joan of Arc” was the work of a poet—a historian—a seer.
Mark Twain was all of these. His was not the light laughter of a
moment’s fun, but the whimsical humor that made the tragedy of
life more bearable.

A Real American

Mark Twain was a steamboat pilot. He was a searcher for gold in
the far West. He was a printer. He worked bitterly hard. All this
without a glimmer of the great destiny that lay before him. Then,
with the opening of the great wide West, his genius bloomed.

His fame spread through the nation. It flew to the ends of the
earth, until his work was translated into strange tongues. From
then on, the path of fame lay straight to the high places. At the
height of his fame he lost all his money. He was heavily in debt,
but though 60 years old, he started afresh and paid every cent.
It was the last heroic touch that drew him close to the hearts of
his countrymen.

The world has asked is there an American literature? Mark Twain
is the answer. He is the heart, the spirit of America. From his
poor and struggling boyhood to his glorious, splendid old age, he
remained as simple, as democratic as the plainest of our
forefathers.

He was, of all Americans, the most American. Free in soul, and
dreaming of high things—brave in the face of trouble—and always
ready to laugh. That was Mark Twain.

The Price Goes Up

25 VOLUMES Novels—Stories—Humor—Essays—Travel—History

This is Mark Twain’s own set. This is the set he wanted in the
home of each of those who love him. Because he asked it, Harpers
have worked to make a perfect set at a reduced price.

Before the war we had a contract price for paper, so we could
sell this set of Mark Twain at half price.
