Just for Fun : Prominent in Business Circles

Lilly-Washington Historical Society (author.). Holland, Jeffery D. (researcher.). Rodgers, Austin M. (researcher.). Blair County Historical Society (author.).

Summary: ""Just for Fun" was originally produced in 1907 and featured in a compilation of caricatures featured in the Altoona Mirror between October and December of that year. Books such as this were popular during the first two decades of the twentieth century and would give the public a change to see the prominent citizens of their community. The caricatures would often contain jokes based on current events of the day or inside jokes among the businessmen themselves. Like this publication, most of the books were compiled by the area's local newspaper(s) and published by themselves or another printer, such as Roycroft in East Aurora, New York." - Foreward
