Note that even though Roy Rogers had starred in many B-westerns at the time of the making of this movie, he was fourth billed, and was not pictured on any of the posters (except the insert and the style B 1SH [where he is barely visible!]), or the title lobby card (although he was pictured on one of the publicity stills, perhaps Republic was trying to distinguish this movie as an "A" picture, and did not want to give prominent billing to Roy Rogers, who they perceived as a "B" western star?).

Condition: good to very good. light water stains along the top horizontal fold including some in Wayne's forehead as well as some discoloration throughout the poster separation and some stains along the bottom quarter of the vertical fold and left half of the bottom horizontal fold (some repaired with tape from the back) as well as some separation and small paper loss at each crossfold; creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines; tack holes in each corner of the poster with some torn from rough removal (repaired with tape from the back); The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound!
