Washman/Ben, I had to delete the image you posted in your initial post above because it was watermarked that is owned by another website. You are not allowed to post any image here that is either under copyright or was scanned and posted by another website. If you had found the actual paper advertisement yourself and scanned it then it would have been fine as long as that item is no longer under copyright. So do be careful about what you post, thanks!
