Perkins of Portland
Author: first_name: Ellis Parker
last_name: Butler
Language: English
Year: 1908

Amusing tales showing the effectiveness of advertising some rather questionable products. Perkins and the narrator partner in promotions directed at a gullible and willing public. Unlike most tales of the kind, with moralistic endings where the 'sharps' come to grief, Perkins and Co. become wealthy and quite pleased with themselves. (Summary by Arnold Banner)
