ShopFu: Help me find "A buck well spent"

This link (http://www.snopes.com/business/market/springmaid.asp) was on the blue this morning... where can I buy a reproduction of the advertisement "A buck well spent on springmaid sheets"?

If you can determine the approximate year of the advertisement, then archived editions of magazines from that same time should be available. The ad has the look of occasional color ads from the New Yorker. Once you find it, then scanning the hard copy at 300dpi should get you halfway there.

Of course, you could always contact Springmaid directly ...

Not exactly the same, but eBay has a few.
