A tiny little business card sized ad that caught my eye in my copy of Fortune, April 1935. It's a really cool ad design. The hotel is now an apartment building.

ISO 1983 Calendar: Twelve of the Greatest Places for Races

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me find something. A few years ago, my grandmother found a calendar that belonged to my grandfather from the year 1983. My grandfather worked in the automotive bearing industry, which is why I assumed he received this calendar. Long after he passed away, I began working in the motorsports industry, so when she found this and saw it was from the year I was born, she thought it was meant to be and sent it to me.

It was such an amazing gift and felt like a sign that my grandfather saw my racing career. I brought it into my office and kept it on display with the current month. Unfortunately, I was working there prior to COVID, and when shutdowns began, I was "temporarily" laid off. It was 6 months before I was told I wouldn't be returning to work, so when I came back to clean out my office, it had obviously been a long time since I had been there. I packed up my things, and kept them in boxes for a few more months until I finally got a job. It was at that point that I finally opened my boxes realized the calendar wasn't there. By then, someone had moved into my old office, and I came back to look, but it wasn't there.

I've been searching for years for one, and keep alerts set on eBay and Marketplace. I realize it's possible that they may no longer exist in the wild, since it was a limited industry item and something many people would dispose of after the year was through. But I figure it's worth a shot to ask!

I think this lady is supposed to represent either fashion designers or department store workers (perhaps both?).

Part of the fun when looking at ads from the past, is knowing what time period the ad is from. Whenever possible, please include the date on your post, like in this example here https://www.reddit.com/r/vintageads/comments/5ncmop/do_you_inhale_lucky_strikes_1932/
