Here’s a link to a .pdf of a 16 page booklet promoting tourism in New Orleans from 1948: This Week in New Orleans (Dec 4 1948).

A friend of mine who works at a historical museum in downstate Illinois sent this along.  There are some  hand written notations from the original owner of the document from her long ago visit to Nola.
