May Day 1932 (Spontoon Island) ad from a co-op sponsor.
Typical ad from one of the manufacturing syndicates sponsoring events on the Spontoon Island May Day celebrations. This hints at possible public places to go, and events for participation. The ad would likely appear in souvenir program books, and local magazines and newspapers. The sponsors provide supplies and services used at events by the local Spontoonies, plus Summer-seasonal workers from other islands, and a few high-income tourists (arriving early before the regular cruise-ship season).
This ad promotes the ale brewed by the sponsor, and shows one of the picnic areas in the Spontoon Island Lagoon. "Kami Motu (island)" is small, charming, and 400 years ago became the focus of much bad Lovecraftian physical & spiritual trauma. It was very much rehabilitated in the 1800s by an unusual local coalition, and by 1932 has had a reputation for many years as a small island for romantic picnics and overnight camping. Its current Guardians make sure of that.... Or so is the fable, endorsed by the tales of LaFontaine Ales, Union City, Rain Coast Independencies.
We see 4 new friends, starting to open some (imported) bottles of the sponsor's ales, and giving a local bar-signal for "2 beers; one for my partner". One picnic pair may be of Japanese culture, or they may be doing a 1932 version of 'cosplay'. If so, that is very time-binding, with a science-fiction flavor.

I'm OK. Short-term I may have to make some additional part-time work.
The building & inventory are a complete loss. So far, Uncle Hugo's owner (and his attorney) are getting good news from the insurance company. Follow Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore on Facebook, for the official news. And there is news coming.
