This Service Costs More Than The Cheaper Class Of Service–BUT IT IS WORTH MORE–Because IT GIVES RESULTS THAT CAN BE DEPOSITED IN THE BANK.
This is from a pinkish-hued flyer found in a box. I tried to represent the basic layout (and all the typos are as set), but if you’ve ever looked at an auction ad, you know what it looks like. Because we have no frame of reference for goats and cows, it took us a while to realize it’s a joke (and quite rustic, though funny).
The only “real” information, as near as I can determine, is the name JA Simpson and the “Chas E Gallup Co at the First National Bank in Ann Arbor” There’s a park and canoe livery named for a “Gallup.” This one is going to take some library research.
422 S. 13th St. Harrisburg, PA also exists (at least according to MapQuest). At the very least there’s a place on 13th Street in Harrisburg that could be #422. Hmm…
