- Description:
- Half-folded pamphlet advertising the Headquarters Cafe at 29 Michigan Avenue or 14 Lafayette Avenue. The cover is printed with a caricature presumably of the restaurant's proprietor William C. Klenk spraying a small man with a seltzer bottle while a dog watches. A satirical passage written as a letter from the late agnostic orator Robert G. Ingersoll mailed from Hell to Klenk, expressing his desire for some of Headquarters' food, as well as its popularity among the realm's other residents, is contained within. Several blurbs including one advertising the restaurants "special wire connections" to sports venues so spectators can easily place orders are printed on the back.
