ROLLO'S JOURNEY TO WASHINGTON

By Richard D. Ware

Illustrated with unique woodcuts by Robert Seaver. Price $1.25

The boy of yesterday — the man of today — knows the Rollo books, and is familiar with the method by which the mind of young Master Mollycoddle was improved by the guidance and precepts of his father and Uncle George. Those who survived such a course of purification and still live will enjoy this story of Rollo’s journey to our national capital.

It is not written for the young in years, but for the young in heart — for the good citizen who can see the funny side of a situation that is serious, and can laugh at the mistakes and foibles of our great men of today without malice or viciousness.

The book is about the Great War which has caused so many tears of sorrow, and the author’s only desire is to replace those bitter tears with tears of mirth.
