About this listen

Lem Putt could have chosen to continue building houses, barns and chicken coops and made a decent living. But instead he turned his talents to privy building, and he'll tell you why. It's not just carpentry skills that create an ideal outhouse—you need to know a lot about human nature. Lem is happy to relate here how he chose to specialize.

Charles Sale created this book in 1929 from his hugely successful vaudeville act. He writes:

"Lem Putt—that wasn't his real name—really lived. He was just as sincere in his work as a great painter whose heart is in his canvas. And in this little sketch I have simply tried to bring to you recollections of a man I once knew, who was so rich in odd and likable traits of character as to make a most lasting impression on my memory."
