"If you ask the touris why he visits Salem, he will tell you that he has four reasons: to see the old houses, to feel the witch pins, to gaze upon the terminus of the Horse Railroad at Danvers, and to ponder over the birthplace of Lord Timothy Dexter." A humorous account of Salem local color, published in conjunction with the short-lived humorous paper "To-Day," which was "a sheet devoted to the Institute and Oratorio Fair at Salem." With a fine satirical front wrapper illustration.
