Picture #4, lower left hand corner under picture - copyright 1941 - you were really close on that guess. You can probably tell I have some experience with brochure date searches. Always check all the fine print. Not always will it give you an accurate date of printing but it will be pretty darn close.
thank you mustangtony. Your eyes must be better than mine.
ho2cultcha, do you live in a library? If not, you should print up your own library cards up & hang a sign! Youve got the written word.
it would be like a library if i didn't put most of my books/paper in boxes and stick them all in the warehouse once per year. every now and then i pull out a few boxes and go thru them and take pics etc. and that's when i re-find little lost 'treasures' like these. although i do love the written word, graphics and fine art are more my passions. maybe it's all just symbolism anyways...?
