Zook, states that he printeid 5,000 of the nearly 130,000 distributed as there was a strike by printers in New York. Besides the calendars there are a number of advertisements. The copy that I have was sold by P.M. Bard for ten cents. He owned a general store in Oregon, Pa. The Ideal Cocoa & Chocolate Co. of Lititz had a full page ad and so did the Farmers National Bank. Some companies sold coal, fertilizer, lumber, shoes, and jewelry. In the classified advertising one ad stated that they would print 100 name cards for one dollar. An other listed a book “Seeing Lan caster County from a Trolley Win dow” price ten cents. Another was for umbrellas, parasols and canes by Rose Bros. Umbrella Shop in Lancaster.

Even a 170-acre farm in Virginia was listed for $6,500. Other contents of this 1920 al manac were not only weights and measures but an article declaring what a hat tells about a woman while another explained the differ ence in the feet of different races narrow and long, high arches, flat and sqaurc, large, fleshy and webbed. One table showed how long foods remain in the stomach. Apples and celery were shown as 1 hour and 30 minutes while nuls and fat pork were five hours and 15 minutes. No almanac would be complete without giving health hints. One page lists “doses for an average sized man.” Some are castor oil 1 to 8 tsp., epson salts 'A to 1 ounce, paregoric 1 tsp., turpentine 10 to 40 drops, bloodroot '/« to 'A tsp. and quinine 1 to 10 grains. I certainly would not recom mend that any of these instruc tions be followed!
