...manned rocket to the moon (price: $1.98) and a Jupiter-C intermediate-range missile (price $1.98). To attract girls, there will be $1.98 life-size models of Walt Disney's squirrel Perri, a tiny koala bear and a beagle puppy, each with three bags of fur and a sprayer to apply the coat...
...Hollywood morals of her heyday as if they were burning issues. For all practical purposes, the Ku Klux Klan is just as dated, but Wallace produced its Imperial Wizard Eldon L.

That was that, in effect, though they were not divorced until...

The grass stays green but grows no more than it does through a normal winter. Largescale application of Kem-Kut requires a power sprayer that few amateur lawn-tenders are likely to own. But, with only a hand spray, a man can slow up the grass around flower beds, trees and in other hard-to-cut places...
