refinement more than the demand for books.”

Welcome sweet Spring time! Welcome new
book time!
You can’t judge a book by its cover^ but you’ll
agree these covers look attractive and we think the
books will be of interest to you.
We believe THE STORY OF TOBACCO IN
AMERICA would be to your liking for several
reasons, primarily because we produce a product
vital to the use of tobacco; secondly, it contains
an article on our company and our president, Mr.
Harry H. Straus; and finally, it is written by
Joseph C. Robert of North Carolina’s Duke Uni
versity faculty. The history of tobacco is dra
matic and colorful and has borne tremendous in
fluence on the lives of millions. It is not a tech
nical book, but is written in a laymen’s language
and we highly recommend it for educational
reading.

Many readers seek diversion and relaxation
with a light love story—we boast a new one—
THE GOLDEN SHOESTRING as written by
Faith Baldwin. It tells the story of a young couple
without cash who thought it would be more fun
to spend their lives as houseguests than to earn
a living. Can you imagine the ensuing problems.^
THE GOLDEN SHOESTRING will brighten a
dull evening.

The striking cover of STRONG CITADEL re
veals that the story is built around a beautiful
woman—and her influence on her associates.
STRONG CITADEL is a witty and charming
new novel about a red-haired Russian beauty
whose marriage into a Main Line Philadelphia
family unsettles some very settled lives. Katharine
Newlin Burt is the writer.

ers of all faiths. THE GREATEST STORY EVER
TOLD will prove to be an inspiration to you and
