Charlie, the use of the Boomer Bill book as a “prize” for traffic soliciation would definitely tie the book in closer with the booster club activities and the suggestion that the company financed the deal. At some point, digitization of the book and the subsequent Boomer Bill articles in the magazines might be a good project.

The September 1931 MP Magazine carried the last Boomer Bill column. A news item in the May 1932 magazine stated: “Boomer Bill books will be distributed as prizes to Chief Boosters, rather than gold booster club buttons. The author, I.M. (Ike) Brown, was associated with booster affairs until his death less than a year ago.”
