From Amazing Stories, dated May 1934. A truly frightening document. Double click for a full view. Well worth it, believe me - the tone of breathless hysteria and terrifying ignorance makes it well worth a look.
Interesting that as far back as 1934 advertisers had decided that SF fans were in need of education in certain matters... although phrases like "grope in darkness no longer" raise an unintentional smile. Especially after the dark prejudices displayed in column two.
