Page of Presidents

The Page of Presidents was an advertising contest published in the Arkansas Gazette May 16, 1917. Each of the 27 U.S. presidents to that date was sponsored by a Little Rock business. Each sponsor’s ad block included at least one misspelled word — and sometimes other unintended goofs, too. Can you spot the intentionally misspelled words?
