Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad that ties together a history lesson with a Happy New Year message. The ad, with a blue background, has a picture of a New Years Eve party with the clock at midnight, balloons, streamers and couples kissing. The ad headline says “Welcome ’49!..the year of the great Old Gold rush”. With these words they neatly remind everyone of the Gold Rush in California that took place exactly 100 years before this ad. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
