How to Become an American Citizen

New York: J.S. Ogilvie Publishing Company. Good. 1929 (c.1926). 2nd Edition (unstated). Softcover. DETAILS NEEDED. (very fragile!) "Contents of this book: questions that are usually asked by the Judge to the person applying for citizenship and how to answer them." This edition was printed in 1929, and includes a laid-in sheet explaining "Changes in Naturalization Law Effective July 1, 1929." This publication was apparently designed as a free handout, upon which individual companies or merchants could place their brand and/or their advertising. In this instance, the paying sponsor was an New York outfit called Diehl, Laudau and Pettit: their name is printed at the bottom of the front cover, and the rear cover contains an ad for their book, "Youman's Household Guide and Dictionary of Every-day Wants," available for $2 ($1.25 in paper covers) and promising "$100 a Year Saved to all who Possess and Read this Book!" ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
