Have about 250 old Argosies, 1923 to 1927. Many fantastics. Send dime for list. (I am not a dealer.)

Another outfit is filming ‘Tarzan and the Sheik’. This doesn’t suggest a weirdie or fantastic, I’ll admit, but it may be. Note I give the impression that I don’t count Tarzan’s films as fantastics. His are adventure films, mostly kid stuff, and nothing very spectacular at that.
