Elder had a lot of ads in hobby publications in the mid to late 60s, especially Sports Trader and Sports Collector's News, both of which I have complete runs of. In 1968 there was a controversy over his prices that led to a series of long letters to the editor in SCN, which are an interesting peek at the then-insular world of the hobby in the late 60s. I'll see if I can write something about that at some point.
