    I purchased an antique piece of furniture to restore and went to open the drawer to get ready to strip it down and found this newspaper with the following ad. The paper is dated November 4, 1969. I just wanted to share it with you all, Happy reading!

    You can usually find ads like that on Ebay. They're neat to frame and hang on the wall. I have one of those Sprint ads framed and one from 1957 advertising a 57 Ranchero to go with my other project.
