ellid | A rare treasure

I found this wonderful little pamphlet at the Springfield Post Office many years ago. It recently resurfaced, and I thought I would share this amazing relic of days gone by with all of you.

Behold the glory of Billy Bing!

Yes, it's "how to find your lucky number" thing, and seemingly was originally published sometime in the 1930s or thereabouts. The pages are larded with advertisements for "The original lucky Three Wisemen's Live Lodestones and a miniature Holy Bible [sic]," the "Aero Dream Book," "PRO-ZO's the genuine authentic GOLD BOOK edited by Professor Zonite," "Double Red's Luck Line," and "Albertus Magnus Egyptian Secrets."

I cannot tell you how much I love this thing.

UPDATE: I found more information! Whee!
