Hi, Philip! I don't have exactly what you want, but I will bet I know where you can find it! I have a collection of advertisements which used a Native American theme -- it's quite a sight. Anyhoo, the Saturday Evening Post in the the late 40s carried a bunch of such ads featuring travel themes. There is one in the 3/29/1947 issue that featured (the ad did) NYS with the theme -- "Sold for $24.00 and a cartoon of--you guessed it--the selling of Manhattan. If you can get someone to search those back issues, I bet you will find what you need. Happy Hunting!
