$10 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Advice for Women, 1940s ~ Technique That Wins Men
Collectibles:Advice For Women:Ephemera
These old advice pamphlets are so much fun to read today!

The graphics on the covers indicate the booklet was published in the 1940s, by the Franklin Publishing Co., Toronto, Canada. But for whom, or why, is unknown as there are no identifying marks.
