Found this in the box of a ceiling fan I bought at the Salvation Army. I'm guessing early 1990s, circa 1992?

I left Ames in '92 and this does not look like the font/layout of our circulars.  I suspect this was actually from the late 90's or 2000's.

The general style of the ceiling fans shown is way too old for the late 1990s. I'm leaning more toward mid 1990s.

They're from sometime after I had left the company for sure.  Ames was still using red as a primary logo color then.

Knowing that the sale dates are "Sunday, March 22 thru Saturday, March 28", I'm thinking this ad is probably from 1998. That was the only other year apart from 1992 where the 22nd was a Sunday and 28th was a Saturday. Kind of odd they would still be offering ceiling fans of the styles shown given most of them fell out of favor earlier in the decade.
