Dumont's Minstrel Joke Book


Price, 25 cents


A Collection of jokes arranged for End-Men, both professional and amateur. Never before collected and published in a clear manner and with bright dialogue for End-Men and Interlocutor. They form a book of the newest, most humorous and quaintest matter ever arranged. Any reader may, with assured success, deliver them to any assemblages before whom he may appear.

Mr. Dumont himself says: "This collection of jokes and dialogues is the careful gathering of years—and only, the best and 'sure laugh' producers are incorporated in this book."
