My first one is just like Hal's (isn't it silly the way they say that each box of Old Judge or Gypsy Queen contains a slip, and then go on to say send in 25 slips, or "25 covers of boxes in which no slips have been packed"?)

The second one, in much poorer condition, says: You will find a printed slip in every...On return to us of 35 of these Slips (in pale purple, the 35 is crossed out, and a "25" printed in, ll-UR) we will mail you (prepaid) an elegant CABINET CARD..except for the overprint number change, back is identical.

Which you can still get from a dealer for 1.5 --50,000 dollars in very nice shape...

I assume the "pale lavender" rather than the "red" overprint is due to the worn condition.
