with wisdom and humor."

Chicago Inter-Ocean

"A book full of good laughs, and will be found a sure specific for
the blues."

Omaha World Herald

"The reader will love him."

North American, Philadelphia

"Great natural humor and charm. In this story alone Mr. Lloyd is
deserving of rank up-front among the American humorists."

Portland Transcript

"A cheerful companion. The reviewer has enjoyed it in a month when
books to be read have been many and the time precious."

Denver Republican

"Nelson Lloyd is to be hailed as a Columbus. There isn't a story in
the book that isn't first-class fun, and there's no reason why _The
Chronic Loafer_ should not be placed in the gallery of American
celebrities beside the popular and philosophical _Mr. Dooley_."
