Does anyone have early back issues of Internet World magazine?
The possible time frame would be mid '95 -> '96. The issues should have full page ads by my ex-company (Internet Direct) for a web hosting service called GoSite or Isite. I am trying to find copies of that ad and then copies of an ad for a completing company. That company took out a full page ad for their where they have a pirate ship with their logo shooting (and sinking) a ship with our logo.
I already tried my local library.. no dice.

Where are you located?
Go back to your local library and ask them if they have access to the WorldCat database. If yes, ask for a title search on "Internet World" and see which libraries in your state or country have hard copies of this title in the years you specified. If libraries near you have it, you may be able to go there and photocopy the pages you are looking for. If the title is at a university library and you do not attend that university, don't rule it out; often you can use the materials on-site.
Or, you could get the copies via interlibrary loan from other owning libraries (a bit tougher since you don't know exactly which issue you are looking for).
If it's the actual page you want, though, you'll likely have to go the used bookstore route.

Absolute Backorder Service, Inc. is an online back issues dealer that has these issues from your specified time frame in stock. They appear to deal exclusively with libraries; however, it never hurts to ask.

There's one in the Tucson area called Bookman's which has thousands of back issues of magazines, from travel to tech to fashion to sports...
