* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: ''Babbitt'' explains in bitingly satirical terms the importance of the Brotherhood of Funny Hats to the upstanding 1920s businessman. The protherhoods to which Babbitt himself belongs--the Elks and Rotary--aren't particulalry BOFH-ish, but he does mention that the Masons, Shriners, etc., serve the same purpose and which club you join is more or less inconsequential.

* ProtagonistTitle: Used repeatedly (''Babbitt'', ''Arrowsmith'' ''Elmer Gantry'', ''Dodsworth'', ''Ann Vickers''...)
