Footnotes
The first fifteen issues of a very scarce Australian advertising periodical issued by G.J. Crouch, "importer, and wholesale and retail dealer in toys, fancy goods and general merchandise", George Street, Sydney. Originally issued gratis as an 8-page advertisement sheet for his own goods, by the fourth issue Crouch charged 1d., adding a few newsworthy items (including a regular feature "Dark Side of Australia" mostly devoted to intemperance) and adverts for other local businesses.
