RENO
THE HOLY BIBLE I quote the following:
"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it came to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
"And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife."
From the fifth book of Moses, Deuteronomy, Chapter XXIV.

INTRODUCTORY
The magic little word "Reno" makes a smile creep over the face of anyone who hears it mentioned, as a rule in recognition of the one thing for which it is known. I have smiled myself with the rest of the world in the past; in the future my smile will have a different meaning.
I have lived in Reno. I have felt the pulse of its secret soul, and have learned to understand its deeper meaning, and it is therefore that I am able to uphold my intimate conviction in an attempt to change the world's opinion of Reno and its laws from ridicule to admiration. And if my book has any reason for being, it lies in this attempt.
Those whom fate forces to visit "the big little city on the Truckee River" will find in this book a great deal of carefully gathered information for which before my pilgrimage I would have been so thankful, and with the aid of which so much worry and heartache would have been saved.
This book is not written with any intention whatsoever to propagate divorce; I want this clearly and conclusively understood, so that there can never be any misunderstanding.
To me there are three things sacred above all others: the first is motherhood; the second marriage; the third is the home.
He or she who promiscuously profanes these sacred things is unworthy of them and must pay the severest penalty.
My book is meant to be an appeal for happiness and health; an appeal for peaceful homes, happy and contented husbands,
