Okay, Joe.

I've done the bulk of the work for you. It's doubtful that you'll find a copy of the ad, but it was most likely place in either (or both) the Saturday Evening Post, or Collier's magazine back in the late 20's.

The ENTIRE headline is: The First Hundred Million... How I made a fortune with a "Fool" idea.

It is from one of E. Haldeman-Julius Little Blue Books published around 1927.

He sold 20,700,000 of the series in 1927 at a whopping 5¢ a copy.
