Average Jones (CLASSICS TO GO Book 764)

"Average Jones," is a collection of short stories by Samuel Hopkins Adams, first published in 1911, more then 100 years ago, but they are as fresh - and as much fun - as if they had just been written last year. Samuel Hopkins Adams was a muckraking investigative journalist, and his newspaper and magazine articles about the evils of advertising in general and medical advertising in particular are generally credited with forcing Congress to create the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA.
