Brochure designed by Sid, interior front and back. On the left is a graphically manipulated $100-bill with Sid's portrait, the Federal Reserve Seal forms the face of a bull's head with horns, and the Treasury Seal is an outhouse with dead trees. On the right are two short poems about money and spending values: the first is an excerpt from The Voice in the Wilderness; and the second is by Sid followed by his signature.
Boyum, Sid, 1914-1991
