TREASURY OF WIT AND HUMOR
by Jacob M. Braude
Here's the latest and best collection of wit and humor by America's leading humorist, Judge Jacob M. Braude. Every one of these over 1000 jokes, quips, anecdotes, and "definitions" are proven laugh getters—personally tested, at the rostrum, by Judge Braude.
The judge includes humor for all purposes, for all people. Speakers can delve into this font of wit to find apro-pos spice for dinners, conventions, political rallies, stag dinners, gradua-tion ceremonies, or any other event.
Writers and conversationalists will find the book a never failing addition to their memories. Readers will find it an inexhaustible treasury of entertain-ment.
The entire book is exactingly organ-ized under topic headings from jokes about Absent-Mindedness to jokes about Youth. You'll find no subject is too small, no subject too large for Judge Braude's All-American humor. And each joke, each anecdote, each "definition" is adaptable. So with a little twist you can apply this humor to fit any situation imaginable.

This golden lode of wit can stress a point or drive home a morál, as well as amuse. You need never be afraid of speaking above folks' heads or of boring them, because Judge Braude sup-plies a story to bring your point down to earth.
There are apt stories, clever "defini-tions," witty epigrams to spark any audience into attention and enthusiasm.
Whether the occasion is light or seri-ous, a little Braude humor can't help making it warmer, more humán, and more enjoyable for everyone.
From the formai rostrum to the chance conversation, from the treatise to the letter Judge Braude's goldmine of wit and humor delights the audience and saves hours of research for the teller. Vissza
