Content description:
Envelope reads "Ad Club Ball 1917." Negative shows two young girls and a young man dressed in costumes. The man is wearing pants which appear to be made of newspapers and a shirt or jacket that says "We use Tribune for Results- Mutal Realty." He is also wearing a hat that says "We get results." The girl in the middle is wearing a dress made of the Oakland Tribune newspaper and holding (or possibly wearing) a replica of the Tribune Building (not the one on 13th). The girl standing on the left is also wearing a dress/shift made of the Oakland Tribune newspaper. Might be some sort of event for best advertising.
