WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING. about the biggest selling novel ever published Harold Bell Wright's WHEN A MAN’S A MAN Mlustrations and Decorations by the Author Cloth $1.35 Leather $1.85 Selling Average 5,100 Copies Daily WHEN A MAN'S A MAN is a story, true, of the real heart of the life of the unfenced land of ranch and range of Northern Arizona. The New York Times: There is much of the vigorous outdoor life of the Southwest in the story, and Mr. Wright writes of it with knowledge and with graphic truth Boston Globe: Redolent of the open and the clean, wholesome life of the West. The author has never written a more clean or uplifting story. PhiladelphiaPress: A welcome successor to such stories as “The Calling of Dan Matthews,” “The Shepherd of the Hills” and “The Winning of Barbara Worth.” Mr. Wright's West is as real as reality can be. Chicago Examiner: When he describes a scene you see it enacted before your mental eye, when he speaks of his characters we have a perfect picture of the persons. Washington Times: As always, an expert in character delineation, Harold Bell Wright pre- sents a number of clear-cut portraits in his latest book, “When a Man’s a Man.” Utica Observer: He has given in “When a Man’s a Man” full measure, pressed down, heaped up and running over of his best thought and best work. Pittsburgh Gazette-Times: An unusually interesting story, one that you do not want to quit until you have finished it. A story that holds you tight and fast. San Francisco Chronicle: The author has a fund of sane and wholesome philosophy. The plot is good and the persons in the narrative are flesh and blood. Los Angeles Express: It is a photographic picture of life on the plains, without the sen- sational guesswork that marks so many such tales, written by those who lack actual experi- ence, Portland Oregonian: One of those pure-minded, healthy stories where reading is a joy. Pleasant to remember after the last page is read. The story really reaches high-water mark, Tacoma Tribune: The thrilling incidents of ranch life and rodeo are as clear to us as though we were really seeing them instead of reading of them. Christian Nation, New York: This story will charm you with its idyllic beauty, it will thrill you with its riches of vital incident, it will delight and surprise you with the kaleidoscopic changes in the course of true love; but it will compel you to think. Fort Smith Times-Record: Though gripped by the story itself the thoughtful reader can- not but wonder how a man may so lay bare the deepest, the most sacred passions of the human soul. We often wept as we read the story, but they were tears that soothed and inspired. We were made to feel that there is a divine principle within even the most worthless of human beings and that some time in every man’s life there comes the desire to arise from the ashes of a dead past, and accept the challenge to be “A Man’s Man.” Other Novels by Harold Bell Wright: The Eyes of the World—Their Yesterdays—The Winning of Barbara Worth—The Calling of Dan Matthews—The Shepherd of the Hills —That Printer of Udell’s—Over Seven Million Copies of Harold Bell Wright's Books Have Been So!d—at all book stores, THE BOOK SUPPLY COMPANY, Publishers E.
