HELP! Looking for someone who has a Flowella, Texas brochure

 

Yes, it's true: Texas has (had?) a town called Flowella named for its flowing well. The promoters printed up a brochure to sell lots in the town. A fellow I know is writing a book about the postcards that one of the promoters published back in the day, among the earliest printed in Texas. And that brochure has the only known photo of the promoter.

Do you have this brochure? And are you willing to have it photographed for the book?

Some six to seven years ago I met an attorney in Austin who also collected watery well postcards who specialized in land promotion postcards. Unfortunately, I have forgotten her name. 

Do you know her? Can you tell me who she is? She might have the brochure, and I'd like to reconnect over our unusual shared hobby.
