T HERE are hundreds of good
novels on the market today,
- but one which could sell bet
ter than any of them would be
book of alibis for tardy husbands.
The average husband knows how
20 get out at night, but he doesn't
know what to tell his wife when
he gets back.
He generally tells her that he
was sitting up with a sick FRIEND
but his wife soon gets suspicious
when none of his sick friends ever
seem to die.
OF course, he can tell her that he
was working at the office, but that
excuse is no good to man who
hasn't had job for two years.
Most husbands would ordinarily
be in by midnight, but they usually
etav ont three hours longer think
ing up a story to tell when they
get home.
The trouble with . lot Of them is
that when they do tell q good story
they don't stick to 1t.
II you tell your wife where
you've been and tell 1t often
enough. you'll soon get to believe it
yourself.
But with book of alibis in your
pocket you could save yourself a
lot Of trouble. You could just
start with the first page and have
. different story every night.
Then, If your wife didn't believe
you, you could show her the book.
And, II that doesn't convince her,
turn to another page.
A man would use this book free
". He's always asking somebody
else what to tell his wife, anyway.
But, Of course, MI married PEG
pie aren't suspicious. NO--Only the
women.
A book like this would make g.
lot Of money for circulating IL
braries, renting 1t out to circulat-
ing husbands.
OF course, this volume would
have 70 be edited by q married
man. Nobody would have any
faith In Il il it was written by q
bachelor.
The very first excuse that this
book would give you would be to
tell your wife that you were out
trying to sell copies Of 1t.
II their excuses didn't work,
then the publishers could give you
yOur money back, but that wouldn't
help q black eye or . broken jaw.
TO be on the safe side you could
carry q "Firgt Aid" book along
with It.
