A lengthy Q&A section is followed by a colour supplementary of Martins cigars according to Graves’ seven classifications. Order form with envelope laid in, together with an autographed typescript letter dated 2nd December, 1938 from the firm’s sales manager on Martins letterhead.

I think this one can be grabbed from books.google.com  I've got a scan of it. Low res JPG's unfortunately. IF I can upscale them and they come out OK, I'll attach the PDF here. I'm pretty sure it'd be public domain by now. If not. LMK!!
