Syzygy 108 Commonwealth Ave. (Boston?) Promotional Flyer

no Place, Syzygy, presumed Publisher. Unbound. no place or date. Presumed Boston circa 1970. Single sheet, 8 ½ by 11 inches. A handwritten (albeit photomechanically reproduced) flyer advertisement for a place call Syzygy on 108 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston (we think). A crapload of question marks adorn the flyer. Why, you ask, did we even bother? It strikes us as the perfect epitome of the hippie/counterculture movement. First, the shop was giving away (!) hand blown glass pipes with any purchase of $5 or more, AND, one could register to win a free WATER BED!!! No doubt the recipient of these would be the envy of Boston. Google sucked at turning up anything on this business btw. Sorry. GOOD condition. Some curling and creasing to this piece of art. Minor toning and spotting. Good .

Fakiranand was accused of subsequently beating the journalist with a hammer, although the story has fluctuated over time. The flier features a mantra/aphorism at the top, and urges people to "Please come-what can you lose but your unhappiness?" GOOD+ condition. Minor fading, wrinkling and creasing. Good .
