Scan of BA 2178, Polk Miller, Watermelon Party insert

Post by Roaring20s »

I was asked by a forum member to scan this for him.
Since it has been done, here it is for all to use. :)

The images are sharp, just click on them.

James scanned and posted this at my request. Ron Dethlefson's first BA book contains scans of many of these booklets, but not the Polk Millers. However, the book does contain a scan of a period ad with detailed descriptions of all 4 records. The text of the ad for Watermelon Party matches what's in the booklet above. I would assume that's probably true for the other 3 as well.

The book I mentioned has reproductions of hundreds of those little booklets. Here's a link to one place to purchase. Might be cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks James, I downloaded the images and set them up in Microsoft Word, adjusted the sizes and printed double sided. and cut it out with scissors. Now I have a nice insert for the reproduction record that I bought from Rob At Edisonia.
