We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
homes and business periled, and the youngsters saving the day; those ungrateful youngsters who always go to hell in prosperity and nothing but poverty can save them.

And the radio, screen or stage press agents who insist upon planting stories that misrepresent their clients, the star or the star's beeg passion; with the press agent always the Pagliacci.
On still another branch is the home type mother who comes into money and hungers for culture and the higher things of life and falls for a collection of screwballs that leech on quick-rich-sillies seeking the higher things of life.

The more familiar deception, however, is provided in this loyalty formula: ambitious husband falling for the boss' daughter, the guileless wife waiting and watching and suffering until he discovers his folly and meekly returns, embarrassed and contrite. Or the chump who becomes champ and ditches his wife for a gold-digger, then loses his fight when he learns that the new flame is two-timing him, the faithful wife standing by through it all, loyal to the end.
