Important Added Info: Note that this two-page trade ad appeared in the November 15, 1945 issue of the English magazine, Kinematograph Weekly. The ad had printing on the reverse, and the person who backed it wisely used black rice paper behind it rather than white rice paper, because that makes the "bleed-through" from the writing on the back far less than it would be had they used white paper (see our image).
