The Tarzan Clans of America was ERB's version of a boys' club similar to the Boy Scouts of America. Burroughs probably wrote all of the booklet.The Clan's yearly $1.00 membership fee gave each member the booklet, a membership card, and the latest ERB, Inc. first edition (autographed). Movie Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller, was the "Chief of Chiefs." Cyril Rothmund, ERB's secretary, was "Chief Scribe."
Included in the booklet is:

a table of contents

rules and instructions for forming a new clan group

duties of procedures at meetings

initiation rituals

a Tarzan Pledge and Tarzan "Clan Grip"

lyrics to four songs

a section of sports and games

a 500-word Ape-English Dictionary
