I think I�ve shared this before, but it is a 1920 St. Mary�s Industrial school fund raising brochure with an image of Ruth in his Red Sox uniform. The fundraising was to rebuild parts of the school that burned down.
In 1919, a fire on the St. Mary�s campus destroyed many of the original buildings that dated to Babe Ruth�s time there. Based on my understanding, Ruth invited the St Mary�s band to travel to games where he was playing and they passed out these flyers to raise money.

I picked this up as I didn�t know there was anything like this that existed.
As a kid I remember hearing about Ruth�s childhood and the story of his time at St. Mary�s fascinated me.
