The chain of St. Anthony.
This chain must go around the world. It was started by a saint and was filled with joy and good times. As soon as your receive this card make one for each each day for 13 days. After 13 days you will receive an unexpected grace. A woman did this and received a letter containing $25. Another did not do this and her home was destroyed. Another made fun of this and was found by her father blind.  [Illegible lines in microfilm follow]

Send these copies you make to your friends in or out of town. Pay good attention and you will be happy. I wish you joy, prosperity and good fortune.
