I likely could email Charlie Cleeves and ask for a close up of the ad. I'll update if I hear back.
I just wanted to follow up on this...

I did hear back from Mr. Cleeves. He initially said he would look for the ad in his collection. After not hearing back for 6 months, I asked again but got no reply. He has retired from the jewelry business; his son now owns the shop. He was elected mayor of the town and likely has his hands full.

As things have been opening up in the last couple of months, I went to the Colorado School of mines, as they have one of the periodicals listed in the stacks collections. The printing of the issue allowed for the bindery to remove pages from the issue (see below), before they were hard bound. The ad is not in the bound version at the school. The USGS library will be opening again on June 6th. The Engineering News is listed in the stacks as a bound edition. The USGS might have used a different service for binding, which then left the ads. So I hope.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
