Frontis., [7], 196 pp. 8vo. Cobb was a popular and prolific author of stories and novelettes whose association with the New York Ledger produced (according to Kunitz and Haycraft), 130 novelettes, 834 short stories, and 2,305 brief sketches! Only two (as far as Wright was aware) made it into book form, including this title. He is notable as "the first American to apply 'mass production' methods to writing." -- Kunitz & Haycraft.
