Four humorous stories by Silas Skaggs and one by Sir Peter McReavy. Shorey's use of "Potlatch City" as place of publication coincides with the first annual Golden Potlatch (or Potlatch Days), an annual Seattle celebration that was marred by riots relating to Wobbly labor activism the following year. Rare: no auction sales divined, no institutional copies recorded. Preserved in a clear archival sleeve with acid-free backing.
