Summary
LaFreniere’s Store advertised Beaver Island patches for $1.00 postpaid in the January 1974 Beaver Beacon. The notice gives the store’s Beaver Island mailing context but no product maker or sales record.
Evidence and limits
This is a commercial offer, not evidence of the number of patches sold, their design or maker, or the store’s legal identity. The advertisement’s spelling is normalized only in the title for readability; the source record preserves its LaFreniere form.
