Publisher's Blurb:	"A large number of boys have become tired of the 'sameness' about most five cent libraries. MIGHT AND MAIN is published especially for boys who want a big five cents' worth and still want to be interested. The stories in this line are at least one third longer than in any other library and deal with the adventures of boys who reached the top of the ladder by their own efforts. A different story is published every week, dealing with the adventures of a different set of characters. We will publish one or more paragraphs each week of boys who were successful in real life with articles telling just how they won out. Price 5c per copy."
Major Author(s):	"One of the Boys" used as a pseudonym. Actual author names are also noted in the database when known.
Notes / Commentary:	The stories in Might and Main are reprinted from other sources, mainly Golden Hours and Golden Library. Name of the series was changed to Might and Main Weekly between numbers 68 and 74. "Stories of Boys Who Succeed" was used as the slogan for all issues.
