Similarly, a Boston entrepreneur advertised a handy "shelter" for only $4.50; it turned out to be a crowbar, for use in opening manhole covers...
...Leotard Allardyce DuPlessis Weatherwax (also Lahr), a wild Park Avenue lecher. When his son admits a literary interest in the exotic sins suggested by Lolita and the works of Oscar Wilde, Weatherwax bellows encouragingly: "That's the stuff to cut your eyeteeth on.
