1966 “Fables for the Very Rich.” Advertisement for Francis I. duPont & Co, NY. The New Yorker, April 16, 1966. 4.6” x 5” on page 149, 7.75” x 11.25”. Source unknown.
This advertisement promotes tax-free municipal bonds, highlighted for their tax-exempt interest and high returns. The fable has a somewhat addled llama write himself a letter. “What does it say?” “I don’t know. I won’t get it until tomorrow.” Moral: the familiar isn’t always the known.” Apparently the ambitious reader should make herself or himself more familiar with municipal bonds. I find no others in a possible series on the web. - Date
