Tom Swift And His House On Wheels by Victor Appleton Antique Book 1929

Published Whitman Publishing Co. Cover has water damage and whole book has staining. Cover coming apart from binding. Bells are chiming in the distance. Can't tell exactly what kind, but since Mary Nestor has got Tom looking at furniture, one has a pretty good idea. One also wonders about the future, as Swift Construction is not doing all that well. The AirLine Express hasn't been the money-maker that it was hoped for, and the Talking Picture box has still yet to reach its' stride, income-wise. Tom is offered a lucrative, but suspicious contract to build equipment for a man who is known to have a less than honest reputation. When Tom refuses the deal, this guy goes psychotic and starts threatening mayhem and murder. But, when in doubt, "put on a happy face," as they say. Tom designs and builds an RV motor home that can be used to "get away from it all.
