"A NEW Series certain to attract attention. Every youngster is filled with the marvels of invention displayed in motor cars, motor boats, submarine boats, and airships. It is the purpose of these spirited tales to convey in a realistic way the wonderful advances in land and sea locomotion. Stories like these impress themselves in the youthful memory-cling to it like a burr-and their reading is productive only of good." -- "Every Boy possesses some form of inventive genius. Tom Swift is a bright, ingenious boy and his inventions and adventures make the most interesting kind of reading."
