Pitch Booklet

 

Friends

 

Since you have just purchased this booklet I presume you are no interested in my private life and doubtless many questions of a private nature have risen in your mind.

 

My aim and purpose in writing this concise explanation booklet is to endeavor to give you a a brief but informative glimpse into my private life since birth.

 

I was born on April 26th 1911 in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, of perfectly normal parents, being born in the exactly the same condition depicted on the cover of this pamphlet.

 

At the age of 5 years I was brought by my parents to New York City at the request of several noted physicians to be examined and studied in the interest and advancement of science.

 

After a period of seven months we returned to my native land where my mother bore her 5th and last child, of which I was forth and the only one born in the curious condition.

 

Upon our second sojourn to the United States my father was killed and my mother, in her grief returned to Puerto Rico.  I was subsequent adopted by Carl L. Lauhter, the operate of the organization I was being featured with.

 

While on tour with the Johnny J. Jones Exposition I become acquainted with a most attentive young man,

after a courtship of several month we eloped in 1938, and have been living happily married ever since.

 

During our first year of wedded bliss I became the mother of a baby girl.  Through a grievous miss fortune

my child was stricken with bronchial Pneumonia at the age of four months which resulted in her death.

This was the most serve blow of my life, but perhaps someday I will be blessed with another child to fulfill

and make my life compete as anyone would want.

 

Having be on expositions practically all of my life, I've received not only the normal education of normal

children but in re of my profession procured a thorough and expensive worldly knowledge garnered while

touring with various and sundry organizations.  All grant my exterior appearance is strange and unusual

but that does not hinder me from enjoying life to the fullest extent and from participating in the goodness

life has to offer the same as yourself.

 

To sum up this epistle, I'd like to say I think fate hasn't treated me unkindly in view of my many blessings

of good health, a fine husband and many friends.  I'd like to thank you for your kind interest in my case

and for your patronage, and trust you've enjoyed reading this little booklet as much as I did writing it.

 

Thank You

Sincerely

PERCILLA
