This fabulous two sided nicely tanned page is marked June 1930 on the bottom right corner and I believe it came from a Fortune magazine. One side advertises Motor Boating...the luxury of sport, while the other side is Firestone balloon tires. So many uses for these. Perfect for framing or make copies and use over and over.

I picked up this rather amusing vintage book cover for "Toward a Better World" by Jan Christiaan Smuts! Too good to pass up.
