creepiness

I downloaded this page for the ad that appears at the very bottom, 3rd column from the right. But, check out the one right next to it (2nd column from the right). I thought this was an ironic coincidence, but having now found a second example of the two ads (dealer and Fed. Indian Svc.) appearing in close proximity, I've decided that the SF Chronicle ad department did this on purpose. Creepy.

Oh no how frustrating to see that text has been chopped off! Oh I just found this today:

thanks for the eurolibrary link, very cool! I'm going to post yet another closeup of the ad--I didn't realize it was so difficult to read.
