Mini Clubs of America
The Hustler Club originated in Dayton, Ohio in 1967. Brothers Larry Flynt and Jimmy Flynt envisioned a chain of semi-private nightclubs which soon became a reality with the opening of the Hustler Clubs in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, in January 1970 and July 1971 respectively. The Hustler Club chain expanded into Toledo, Akron, and Cleveland, Ohio during the period between June, 1972 and May 1973. Mini Clubs of America developed its own Magazine titled Hustler which began as a newsletter in January 1972. The monthly newsletter soon developed into a full scale magazine sold on news-stands across the midwest; the Hustler was also sold in the clubs and mailed to over 10,000 club members with a readership of nearly 50,000 people, Hustler Magazine became an effective tool in the advertising and promotion of the Hustler Clubs.

Famous quotes containing the words clubs and/or america:
“I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations. For the sensibility it has that arbitrariness and importance which works take on when they are no longer noticeable elements of the environment. In America kitsch is Nature. The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
