The Jewelers' Circular, April 8, 1925, from Milky Way Vintage Jewels.

Crossword puzzles were a huge fad in the 1920s. The book whose wide sales launched the publishing house of Simon & Schuster was a crossword book that came with its own pencil tucked into the spine. In 1928, Dorothy L. Sayers wrote a mystery story, The Fascinating Problem of Uncle Meleager's Will that could only be solved by completing the crossword puzzle included in the book.

My only disappointment is that she is not wearing a plaid suit with these.
