Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "One Man's Family" was the longest running Radio Series ever to be broadcast. Sponsored by Standard Brands Inc., Mention was frequently made of Tender Leaf Tea on the show. The Series, a long-running soap opera in format, revolved around the Barbour Family (fictional, but seemingly quite real to many radio listeners), Father and Mother Barbour, who were filled with down-home, common-sense wisdom, and their children . and eventually in-laws and grandchildren. The fictional Barbours purportedly lived in a well to do section of San Francisco (Father Barbour was a banker), and many mentions of that city are made throughout the series. This hardcover book, "One Man's Family Looks at Life" is presented as if it were the script for a single show. The family is sitting around discussing their concerns about the possible forthcoming war (a waste of lives and money), and their observations that American civilization just wasn't up to the high family standards of the Barbour Family (ie: People were lazy and wanted lots of things for no effort). The book is illustrated with nifty black-and-white photographs of the cast - one picture of them sitting in the living room in comfortable chairs, and there are also individual portraits of each separate character. Under Father Barbour's picture is the following quote: "The family is the source from whence comes the moral strength of a nation." The front cover has a group photograph of the cast -- the family is gathered around Father Barbour who is talking on the phone. He looks very serious and the rest all look quite concerned! Yes sir, the country was going down hill! This book came out in 1938 - the Great Depression had been a major blight on the entire nation for some years. But the Barbours , bless their souls! - forged on, striving to do their best to cheerfully spread their homey wisdom through the modern miracle of the radio . and eventually television. The series ran from 1932 (Radio only) to 1959 (Radio and Television). TITLE : One Man's Family Looks at Life AUTHOR : Not attributed [ but Carlton E.

Braislin, with author's own photographically illustrated bookplate on front pastedown. Popular history of the laboring class, here personified in the figure of "Dennis Hathnaught." Composed within a loosely fictional framework by MacCarthy in order that the presumably working-class reader, "may be taught to judge more intelligently of his own time and its problems if he has some idea of past times and their institutions." The "history" begins with "Dennis Hathnaught's Lowly Origin; His Biological Ancestry; Primitive Man; Ancient Contempt for Labour, Effects of Evolution and Suggestion of Human Progress," and proceeds through the various eras of English-speaking Hathnaughts, starting with the Saxons, and progressing through the Middle Ages, 16th and 17th century England, and the Industrial Revolution. Interspersed with chapters on "Fritz Hathnaught," "Jacques Bonhomme," and the "Slavic Hathnaughts, Ivan and Michael.". Signed.
