...Cosmonaut will feel even worse served when she tries to find a bra, an enameled teapot or a new coat.

This week it was the Advocate that changed. The January issue, printed on S.D. Warren's Lustro Offset Enamel Glo 70 pound stock paper, was planned, and is guaranteed, to cut up any tutor's rump.

...find little more than a post office, a phone booth and a combination gas station and general store dealing in two-for-a-penny-candy, dusty bottles of aspirin, applejack, Vermont cheese (kept under the moldy wooden bowl, and cheap), woolen socks, fishing tackle, and peanuts from a chipped enamel peanut roaster apparently left over from the Big-Top Circus days...
