This is printed on newsprint, 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" and some sort of "school of business" advertising on the other side. Maybe I'll request as my avatar!

I like him! But will they have to remove the corn cob pipe? This is a family site.

KirkS: As I once heard a baseball announcer say "he goes back - back - WAY BACK" into the bob

Jamesw: ooops, I'll have to fire up photoshop!

Thanks Steve, and I think this is an ad for the Minneapolis School of Business, which I think is now called a college...here's the yellowed back, which makes it appear that this was once glued into a scrapbook.

Thanks, Dan. I was hoping a Google search on some of the key words/phrases on the back might identify the publication and a look at your image in context but it doesn't appear to have been digitized...yet. The design on your stamp mimics that of the 1894 regular issue so I'm guessing it was published around that time.
