A. D. Porter Co., New York

Albert D. Porter began his career as a printer in Boston. In 1896 an announcement noted the founding of the A. D. Porter Co. at 24 and 26 Reade Street in New York City. Its purpose was "to publish books, music and miscellaneous matter". Initially Porter published pulp fiction and well known authors' fiction in its publisher's series. Porter also published a monthly magazine, The Housewife. He died in 1935.

This firm only published one T. S. Arthur book: Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There. The "Bonnie Series" is written within the cover illustration/decoration. (See below). Most likely this series is a publisher's series of reprints.

This book includes five E. Foote Upham line drawn illustrations that are frequently noted in the late reprints of this title. 6" x 4.25"
