Transcriber’s Notes:

Obvious punctuation errors repaired. There was a Library of Congress sticker over a small part of the back cover’s text. The missing text was taken from another identical ad in the same series.

Page 4, “postively” changed to “positively” (I positively decline)

Page 12, “immediatly” changed to “immediately” (her immediately and ask)

Page 17, “EFFE.” changed to “EFFIE.” (EFFIE. Truly, I wasn’t)
