THE CAREER/WORTH WHILE BOOKS FOR BOYS/ MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE SERIES
By Hugh McAlister

Notes

Titles
Publishing info incomplete. I'm missing some titles -- were the Air Adventure books also published as part of this series? I'm not certain if series order is the same for the Worth While and the Mystery and Adventure series.

Political tone of these books is decidedly conservative. The hero of "Steve Holworth," for instance, battles "red" labor unions.
