Bio History Note

These objects were described as "blotters" and there is blue paper on the verso of three postcard sized papers.  These "blotters" have pictures of Manchester College students on the recto with the inscription "Building The Builders Of The World Tomorrow."  The advertisement for The Heckman Bindery contains a poem and the words, "Bound to Please." On the verso is some blue ink.  Might the blotters have been pressed onto a freshly penned page to absorb the ink as it dried?
