Scope and Content

1 folder ; 1 sheet 16 3/8"h x 13"w on very cheap paper. There is a printed "frame" to create a space 14"h x 11 1/4"w. On the top edge, outside the frame on the left it says "Friday News" and on the right "Rack 615." 2 sailors are in a crow's nest at the top looking through spy glasses in opposite directions. The crow's nest said "S. S. Holiday." One inch black letters said "Stop Lookin'." Just below that was a large spy glass. In the "glass" was an image of small houses on the water, a pier, and a speedboat with water skier in tow flying past. "St. Mary's Beach is your best port for a lifetime of happy holidays. Not just part, but all of the things you want in a summer home are here! Only 1 hour's drive from Washington." There was a circle of fine print about roads, electricity, etc. and another circle of directions to the site. Just inside the frame at the bottom was the name of the development company, address, and phone number.
