PALCO handed those out for visitors that could then take the self-guided tour. Was a very interesting walk through their mill operation. There on that tour in summer of '61

My mother had a habit of house cleaning the attic, by opening up the window and tossing into the back of the old dump truck. I lost a huge stack of comics from the 70's. She never got my old projection viewfinder though. :D

Can't really see the friends for the frogs.
Decoys?

I once worked with a jokester carpentry teacher who carried "round tuits" in his pockets at all times. They were wooden nickels that had "round to it" printed on both sides.
 
That mill tour "ticket" looks like Redwood?
In my area yard sales tend to be 99.9% clothes. Poor folks don't have much to turn loose of here like urban shopping havens with STUFF! by the truckloads for sale.

My grandfather and his friend Casey always went to Maine for the good yard sales and flee markets. Nothing but clothes over here at garage/yard sales. And not even good clothes, just that polyester crap. Some places in the US  they have good cotton sales, for rug weavers (rag or denim rugs). And they need weaving tight, not loose like that Asian stuff. :D
