Indexer Notes
Although this hobby page purports to be about stamp collecting, it actually has nothing at all to do with that subject. Instead, the article, which takes up the inner two-thirds of opposing pages, contains biographies of luminary Bolivians Andrés Santa Cruz, Bernardo Monteagudo, and Jose Ballivian.
The column is surrounded on the outer one-third of each page by a host of classified ads, predominately selling stamps and stamp collecting paraphernalia.

Hawkshaw the Detective / comic story / 7 pages
- First Line of Dialogue or Text
- The Great Diamond Mystery
- Genre
- humor; detective-mystery
- Characters
- Hawkshaw; Watso
- Reprints
- from Hawkshaw the Detective Sunday (United Feature Syndicate) 194X-XX-XX - 194-XX-XX
Indexer Notes
This feature runs across the bottom half of pages 35-48.
Although this strip is by Don Mager, the gimmick is that it is signed as if being "by Watso," who is the Dr. Watson-like character in the strip to Hawkshaw, who is himself a Sherlock Holmes parody - this in much the same way the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock stories were "written" by Dr. Watson.
