Mention the Roaring Twenties, and all the usual icons come to mind: flappers, prohibition, and jazz. But the humor of the 1920s has been mostly overlooked. In this book you will find a sample of 1920s humor in the form of The Melting Pot, a newspaper column from that era. Carefully restored from many rolls of a slowly deteriorating microfilm, The Melting Pot has been preserved as a small piece of a time long gone in years, but still relevant in its effects upon the thoughts, values and customs of our own modern-day world. Inside this book, in a fascinating blend of history and humor, The Melting Pot will educate and entertain you.
