        I found that ad from an interesting article in the Journal of Western Archives, reflecting on the value of historical ephemera to help 'share information about the lived experience of past peoples' (PDF: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1087&context=westernarchives …).
