Pioneer South Bend Bookseller, Recently
Retired, Says New Styles in Literature
are Mainly the Old Ones in Camouflage

Literature. like clothes. changes
fashion TO meet the ever changing
tastes Of an advancing civilization.
This is true in South Bend as well a.
in other localities throughout the
reading world.
Yet literature. like clothes. always
retains q similarity in its new fash
sons 10 those OF old. For instance.
what was considered interesting read
ing 4 years go is passed by now
for something more modern. some
thing that deals with events and sit
uatious that might occur today.
Thirty-one years ago is cited be-
cause that was when Henry = Miller
began 10 sell books of the standard
his book store at 124 $ Michigan st.
Mr. Miller has recently disposed OF
his book store business, and has now
retired 10 private life
Still Mr.. Miller is as Interested in
books and other literature now as
he was when he netered the bust
ness 81 years ago. He has watched
the changes in the tastes of the read
ing public and he sums up the diff
ference in the popular literature Of
his early book store experience and
that Of today by the one word, cam
ourhage." "a
"Once the Nick Carter and Dia-
mond Dick, Jr., detective novels
were in great demand among the
youth Of South Bend" said Mr. Mill
er, "and this liking for these detect
i've stories was not always confined
to boys.
TrilIers Help solve Problems.
Many of our prominent men used
TO like to read them i remember
that whenever Abe" Brick had
heavy political problems worrying
him, he would come into my store,
buy a half dozen Of the most thrill
ing detective stories in the store and
take them with him TO Washington.
That was when he was congressman
from this district This same liking
for detective stories has not entirely
zone out. There is a prominent mer-
chant here today who likes to read
them as well as Abe Brick did, but I
won't tell who he is. He might not
like it, "a
But the plots for stories that ap-
peared impossible 81 years ago when
first opened my store are not i'm
possible any more. In those days
stories of flying in the air. and Jules
Nerne's Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea pictured the impossi-
BILE but today there isn't anything
impossible about flying in the air.
and the submarines have knocked
all the fmpossibility out of Jules
Nerne's story.
AS L say. literature OF the popu-
lar kind today is the old stuff cam
oulaged to make it apepar up to
date. There are the same old plots
with modern settings For instance.
the detective hero today uses an air
plane instead Of riding on a train
or a horse.
But aside from the detective sto-
ries. that are as / say. camouhaged.
literature is about the same as it was
81 years ago. with the exception that
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-04-13

there is less demand for the old writ
ers, such as Charles Dickens and
Charles Reade. Persons don't seem
to care for them as much any more.
OF course there are some authors
whom the world will always read,
hut there are few of them COM
pared TO the number of persons in
cluded in the reading public.
Modern Writers Epherneral.
"And modern writers-they don't
last long. They are read one sea
son, and then if we have any of their
editions left over. they will remain
in our hands. They don't seem to
be very lasting OF course, love
novels will always be in demand.
Bertha NJ. Clay is still read as is
1.-The Duchess" but even they are
not read as much as they used to be.
THE magazines have had much
to do with the falling off in the de-
mand for books. Up. to recently
magazines could be bought very
cheaply. and persons seemed to pre-
fer them TO stories Of the longer
kind
But there are some authors and
writer's of our own state who will
live with the people always. One of
them is James Whitcomb Riley and
another is Gen. Lew Wallace. There
is as much demand for their works
today as there ever was"
Here Mr.. Miller exhibited an orig
inal copy of the first edition of Ril-
ey's poems.
Il knew Jim Riley about as well
as anyone ever knew him. / knew
him when he was painting signs and
writing verse" he continued. Jim
was one of the most loveable fellows
I ever knew. Money could not buy
this little volume" he declared, low
ingly lingering the little book con-
tanning number of the oHosier
poets gems.
Then technical books have come
into demand of late years. There are
more of these today than there ever
were, and there are many technical

magazines as well, and there is
great demand TOR them, too.
yes, there have been a number
of changes in the tastes of the read
ing public. but away down at the
bottom of these changes is a whole
lot of this thing they call camOu
hage."
