Abe and Mawruss

Montague Glass was a lawyer who eventually abandoned the practice of law to write full time. He wrote a series of humurous stories in the New York Post about a pair of popular characters in the predominantly Jewish garment trade. Many of the plots were derived from trade problems he saw as a lawyer. This is the second book of the collected stories; his Potash and Perlmutter stories were also made into stage plays and even movies that were very popular in their time.
