Fence Cutter Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Sure, the ad for the S&W 7 shooter is interesting....... But the ad below it is the one peaking my interest, and I ain't even married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Those ads were to collect an armload of uncanceled, valuable postage! Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Huckleberry Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Given the era and the wording, quite likely a discreet advertisement seeking the attention of people looking for, shall we say -- a little spice in their romantic encounters.

Cat Brules Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 When I was a kid (but they could not tell that from the coupon I sent in) I sent off my postage stamp (only did it twice) and never received answers. One was for a religious booklet the other was sports related Who knows? Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Ah, the lucrative world of “valuable postage”...now brother, that is the ticket right there. If you get a leg up in that scheme you are really going places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Used to be coupons on the backs of cereal boxes. "Send two box tops and 50¢ (no stamps) to..." For the longest time I thought they meant Savings Stamps. I couldn't understand why not. Five ten-cent stamps was the same thing as five dimes. Then somehow I found out they meant they didn't want $0.50 worth of postage stamps. Never did figure out why somebody would want to send postage stamps. Postage stamps weren't "money". But saving stamps were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fence Cutter Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 When I was in 2nd grade I sent Smokey the Bear 2 quarters. I never heard anything back from him. Have you ever heard of anything so sad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Send them a stamp and see what ya get. According to Google the zip code is 10038. On google street view the building looks like it's being rennovated, but there's a computer and camera store in it. So you may get something good. Or the mail may go to the pita place next door and that might be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Smokey spent those 2 quarters on cigarettes! I’ll bet you 50¢ on that! Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
