Indianapolis, Indiana: Abe Martin Publishing Co., 1916. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on title page - "To Will Hays from his friend Kin Hubbard 1916". Will Hays managed Warren G. Hardings successful campaign for the Presidency of the U.S. and was subsequently appointed Postmaster General. After a year in that position, he resigned to become most famously known as the first President of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which under his guidance published a blacklist of actors and workers studios should not hire, inserted moral clauses into actors' contracts, and published an informal list of suggested guidelines for film producers. Frank McKinney "Kin" Hubbard was the creator of the cartoon "Abe Martin of Brown County" which ran in U.S. newspapers from 1904 until his death in 1930, and was the originator of many political quips that remain in use. North American humorist Will Rogers reportedly declared Kin to be "America's greatest humorist". Hubbard worked for The Indianapolis News, and Hays was also a native Hoosier. A truly delightful bit of Indiana history and a wonderful Association Copy. No date, but the author's inscription verifies it at 1916, which is the date also given by WorldCat. Book is Near Fine, page block uniformly browned. . SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. First Edition. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine/No Jacket, As Issued. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Association Copy.
