Friday Night lights

4 covers from 3 different "Capitols" from throughout Nevada. With the first two being supurb salesman samples more commonly refered to as "flats" that were pulled from the match making process before stapling and folding occured to serve as examples to be put into a portfolio carried by sales reps.

The Capitol Club, Ely 1931-1955 USA Capitol Club, Wells crica 1951?

Another example from Ely boasting a "cocktail bar for ladies".
To the right an example from "The Capitol" in Reno, 1931-1946. The similar look of both covers helps roughly date the Ely cover with the Reno Capitol being closed by 1946, likewise with the upper two sharing the same "stock" design.
