Two complete and one partial handwritten newspapers or newsletters, each on a single sheet folded to a four-page booklet measuring 6" x 4.5". All four pages are used in the two complete issues; in the third, only slightly more than one page is used. One is illustrated. One is headed "The Liberator" and two "The Weekly." No date or place is given, but a masthead lists the names of the boys involved, and Ancestry searches confirm they were residents of Keyport (Monmouth County), New Jersey born around 1898. Many of the short "news items" and faux advertisements poke fun (in an appropriately juvenile way) at friends and locals, others are simply jokes. Some examples: " A spring sale is being held at Salz's. Don't go elsewhere to be cheated. Come here." "For sale: A big Boston bull dog. Will east anything. Very fond of children." "Mr. Jones, Furrier, will now make ladies fur coats at low prices out of their own skins." "Mis Alice Roberts has been ill for a week or so with a sore mouth from kissing her fellow." "Scientists state that in 4 thousand years from now the earth shall have cooled off enough as to destroy all life on its surface. Order your aeroplane for removal to mars." "Walter Morris, a second Booker T. recently had a haircut which cost him fifty cents. He kept the wool as a souvenir of the performance." "Many people of this town have been sick this season. The grip had a hold on them.".…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
