Hardcover. Condition: Good. Good dj. First Edition. [book and binding are sound, but with considerable foxing to the page edges and the first few pages, slight deterioration to cloth along the front hinge, and the original owner's name and town scrawled broadly across both the front pastedown and the ffep; the jacket is moderately edgeworn, with small tears and minor paper loss at several corners, soiling to the rear panel, light pencil scribbling on front panel]. Novel about a good-guy businessman/politician, the proprietor of a big woolen mill (and mayor of the town in which it's located) whose "passion was to make water power -- the 'white coal' of his state and city -- the property of the people and not a concession to be exploited by politicians." In fighting the good fight he not only comes up against a corrupt political machine and various other pernicious influences (Socialists, Bolsheviks, and the like), but also alienates the affections of his girl. (The title character's nickname derives from the saying "all wool and a yard wide," thought to have originated in the garment industry of the late 19th century as a term to refer to quality goods, but which also came into more general usage to mean a person who is sincere and honorable. Although the book's setting is an unnamed state, it can be noted that the author was a native (and apparently lifelong resident) of Maine, who held a long string of journalistic and editorial positions in that state and set much of his fiction there. Illustrated by (dj) "H.J.P." (illustrator).…
