Books with title Sock Songs

Excerpt from Sock SongsThere is a species of newspaper contest, seldom met with in New York, the object of which is to advertise the paper and swell its circulation. You cut out cou pons and vote them; the recipient of the largest vote receives an automobile, or (in other days) a trip to Europe. The Sun had no ulterior axe to grind. With Miss Merrick, the contest's inventor, it thought solely to stimulate patriotic knitting. The original intention was to call forth jingles which might be tucked in with socks to go overseas.The conditions were simple - Open to everybody and to any sort of verse, provided the entry did not exceed ten lines. The weekly prizes were $5 worth, $3 worth, and $1 worth of wool, and beside the three winning Sock Songs, ten others of honorable mention were printed every Sunday. This is a book of the lucky thirteen a-week. Prize Songs are marked by asterisks, one for a first prize, two for a second, and so on. The arrangement herein is alphabetical by authors' names.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
