About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Perkins of Portland by Ellis Parker Butler. Read in English by Arnold Banner Amusing tales showing the effectiveness of advertising some rather questionable products. Perkins and the narrator partner in promotions directed at a gullible and willing public. Unlike most tales of the kind, with moralistic endings where the 'sharps' come to grief, Perkins and Co. become wealthy and quite pleased with themselves. (Summary by Arnold Banner)
