An ephemeral piece of Texana, handed out by the Eagle Pharmacy in Brownsville. The front page contains the title and a cut of an eagle, while the back advertises the pharmacy's wares: "See us for -- Stationery, post cards, tooth powders and pastes, tooth brushes, safety razors, blades, etc. Try our fountain and luncheonette service; it will PLEASE YOU. If we don't have what you want we'll get it." Inside there are two poems, "Hell in Texas" and what seems to be a responding piece, "Texas a Paradise." The first piece closes with choice words about the spiciness of Mexican cooking.

Price: $150.00
