Mp dear Friend: 
 
 The owner of this booklet takes this 
 opportunity of inviting you to place your 
 portrait in this valuable collection of art gems. 
 The additional honor of being solicited to 
 enroll your name upon this cherished roster of 
 esteemed associates should not be lightly 
 valued. Turn to the page assigned to you, 
 and you will find a quotation that fits you 
 with absolute nicety. On this page please 
 place a picture that will burlesque the quo- 
 tation. The picture should be cut from 
 the comic colored supplement of a news- 
 paper. Figures of animals and other objects 
 may also be pasted upon the page to produce 
 a bizarre or an artistic effect. Below this 
 caricature write your name, address, and the 
 date of writing. 
 
 Yours very cordially,
