Summary
-
This paper describes a humorous version of a Masonic catechism, written as if a commercial drummer or travelling salesman was initiated into an order similar to Masonry. Every Mason will recognize the similar phrasing, and the authors provide details about the particular slang used as substitutes in this mock catechism. Contains some history about business dealings post Civil War.
