Book of the Hour
THE
JUNGLE
Are you reading it in The Atlanta Georgian?
Bogan in the issue of Monday, June 18, and will
run daily until concluded. Tho most talked-of book
of the century, is this novel of Upton Sinclair’s.
It is the thrilling story of Paekingtown—the story
that laid bare the crime of the Beef Trust.
It is the story of tho Home of Poisoned Meat that
aroused President Roosevelt and the National Con
gress to action.
It is the story of the Chicago Stock Yards, in
which liideous truth was subtly disguised as fiction to
interest and then arouse the American public.
The joys and tragedies of humble people are made
to portray a natioual outrage.
Hideous secrets long hidden were turned up to the
light and air when the first copy of “The Jungle” left
the press.
The book is well written—the tale well told.
