- Description
An arrangement of text, with a small illustration of the girl in the bowl at the top. She has come direct from Hollywood, and is late of the Hall of Science, Chicago's World's Fair. "This little lady has now been six weeks in N.Z. and has been on view in the North Island Agricultural Shows, and has up to date showed to over Fifty Thousand people".
The Chicago world's fair took place in 1933, so the date of this flier may be around 1935. However, there is no mention of this attraction in Papers Past up to 1945, and Fred Carlson is better known as a promoter in the 1950s.
