"Few men grow to manhood without at some time during their early
life passing through a period when their greatest desire is to be a
strong man. They may know some man who is especially strong and
wish to be like him. They may have visited the circus or the
theatre and seen a powerful man who is their ideal. For at least a
period they are filled with a desire to emulate the deeds of their
temporary hero. There is no subject quite as fascinating to most
young men as the subject of strength and development. The principal
source of their conversation may be the deeds of their favorite
athletic hero: a baseball player such as Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio;
a football player like Biggie Goldberg, the great Pittsburgh
halfback, or Ernie Nevers, the Pacific Coast fullback star of a few
years ago; it may be George O'Brien of the movies, or one of the
series of movie Tar- zans-Buster Crabbe, Johnny Weismuller, or Glen
Morris. But the strength of the man is what they really admire, for
it was strength and development more than any other physical or
mental characteristic which made these men stars of the playing
field or the movies. If you wish to prove my assertion that
strength is more admired or talked about than any other subject
among young fellows, start a discussion among your friends about
strong men. Just tell your friends that a relative of yours, or
some other friend or acquaintance, is certainly the strongest
fellow in town, and then listen to the outbursts of rhetoric ..."
-Bob Hoffman This is a 6" by 9" original version, restored and
