Found ephemera, wanted somewhere to display it. Most of what fascinates me about these old pamphlets, newspapers, and books isn't the fact that they came from people related to me in generations past, but the sheer oldness of the items. Recall many occasions as teenager being bored for something to read, and I'd come across these old advertisements, advice flyers, and reference books-and have a great time in a "mental time machine" of the world these pieces of paper depicted.
