MORE TINY ADS from the back pages

A few more ads from the back pages of early '60s 'TEEN magazines. from the silly to the disgusting.

In those days it was cool to be smart. Having politicians be complete rubes was frowned upon. An education was important and valued. People did not grow up wanting to be reality "stars" or celebrities. So the odd little item above was part of its time.

The thought of this wallet just makes me ill.

1910 CALENDAR wishes

If you haven't already purchased a calendar for this year here's one from 1910 that will almost work. All you need to do is go back a day. In 1910 January 1st was a Saturday, 2010 it's Friday. Apparently whomever owned this card didn't buy it for functionality because all 12 months are intact. Just as well for me. I might not have paid 4 bucks for the card if the calendar had only December left. And yes, it's one of those cards with the glitter. I really dislike the glitter. I have to wonder if it ever looked pretty. It always looks heavy and dark which I'm assuming is due to its age. Then again it might have looked just as funky when new.
