[Thursday] Pathe Speaker Ad

[Arzoo623 WebRight]

I love old ads and a lot of people do especially if they have the item being advertised. We have so mush paper lying around that we could remove the ads from the magazines we decide to trash or have dupes of and sell them in the gift shop. We can just put them in comic book sleeves which come with a white board backing. I don’t know, $2.00 to $3.00 each? They may sell. Steam or Wireless.

After that we can come up with a list of holes in the collection that would be important to try to fill, and start to identify where they might come from, gifts or, last resort, consider a purchase.
