The Motor Maids at Sunrise Camp
Published in 1914, this is the only book on our Shelf that still retains its fragile paper dust jacket. Much can be learned from these wrappers; not only did they provide bright, eye-catching art, they also provided space for more extended advertising, offering a view into the values the publishers felt would resonate with Progressive Era purchasers and readers. In this case, the blurb emphasizes the “wholesome” tone of the series along with its “adventure” content:
A NEW Series of clean, wholesome books of adventure that will appeal to the girl who loves outdoor life. These charming volumes fill a long-felt want – they are healthy books for healthy girls. The low price places these stories within the reach of all. – Hurst & Company, Publishers, NY
