1938/39 Maple Leafs Program
Usually I will share my latest vintage program over at Maple Leafs Programme Project but this one is just too good.

The Rangers ended up winning the match by a score of 3-2 as Dave Kerr out-duelled Leafs Turk Broda. The player pictured on the cover is not stated, but he bears a resemblance to Bob Davidson. Pretty cool listing by W.A. Hewitt of hockey's stars from 1900-1939. Above is a full page advertisement featuring a great interior photo of Maple Leaf Gardens. I cropped and enlarged it below. Another ad shows game action between the Rangers and Leafs. A few of the players are identifiable. The middle Leaf is Syl Apps, and #11 has to be Busher Jackson.
