Looks like two superimposed ads: the Arabic on the left is for a ceramic company; then there is a 7 Up ad in the upper right corner, plus more Arabic that seems unrelated to 7 Up but possibly the beginning of the ceramic company ad. – Iman R. Abdulfattah

Alexandria, Egypt7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis–based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920. Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda”, was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1950. It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. – Wikipedia

Finally!!!! Here’s my 2nd story on my “Extraordinary Everyday New Yorkers” on Beacon Reader. And I’m truly proud of it!
It is an absolute pleasure to be able to share the inspiring story of Frank H Jump, artist, teacher, activist, SURVIVOR… 30 years living with HIV, a situation he turned around from the start to inspire him to live life fully and create, which he did with his extraordinary project “The Fading Ad campaign”. And how great to be able to publish today… on Frank’s actual 54th birthday. Thank you, dear Frank, for opening the door and your heart to me and let me tell your story. Thank you to our common darling friend, Ruth, who made it possible for our paths to cross. You are such an inspiration.
Much love and happy birthday, Frank!!! To many many more (healthy and creative) years!!! – Sion Fullana
