Hello;
I have a Better Homes & Gardens magazine dated February, 1949 which includes an advertisement with the following text:
HOOKED RUGS are fun to make the Tru-Gyde way. Our Rug Book gives complete information and pictures of 20 rugs made the Tru-Gyde way. We have burlap patterns for these at very reasonable prices. The book gives the amount of yarn or rags needed. You will know how many stockings it takes or how far that old suit or dress will go. Order your book today. Only 25 cents. Wilson Bros., Dept BH, Springfield, MO.
Are you interested in purchasing the ad to help sell the tool to an antique dealer?
Please advise.
