The Indiana Historical Society holds two issues of this periodical, including this one. They place the date as circa 1950. Mentions of Sergeant Joe Louis's title defense against Billy Conn "last June," and a party for the second anniversary of the play Anna Lucasta in August, places the date in late 1946. We are aware of no other examples.
