NORTH WEST _But One Verdict_ EAST SOUTH
THE CHRONIC LOAFER
_By NELSON LLOYD_
8vo, Cloth, $1.25
=Outlook, New York= =New York= "A new American humorist. The stories have the point and dry force found in those told by the late lamented _David Harum_."
=San Francisco Argonaut= =Cal.= "Will bring a smile when it is read a second or third time."
=New Orleans Picayune= =La.= "Racy with wisdom and humor."
=Chicago Inter-Ocean= =Ills.= "A book full of good laughs, and will be found a sure specific for the blues."
=Omaha World Herald= =Neb.= "The reader will love him."
=North American, Philadelphia= =Pa.= "Great natural humor and charm. In this story alone Mr. Lloyd is deserving of rank up-front among the American humorists."
=Portland Transcript= =Me.= "A cheerful companion. The reviewer has enjoyed it in a month when books to be read have been many and the time precious."
=Denver Republican= =Col.= "Nelson Lloyd is to be hailed as a Columbus. There isn't a story in the book that isn't first-class fun, and there's no reason why _The Chronic Loafer_ should not be placed in the gallery of American celebrities beside the popular and philosophical _Mr. Dooley_."
