Notes:
New cover for an issue of reprints. If Percy were a smarter cat, he'd probably blow-out the matches or at worst employ an electric fan, rather than just cower in fear of the flames.
Notes:
Ad for a set of 76 styrene plastic Christmas tree ornaments which can store light during the day, and "glow" it back at night. Black and white ad on inside front cover.
Notes:
The original printing in Terry-Toons Comics (St. John, 1947 Series) #75 was 6.5 pages. For this reprint, only 6 of the original 6.5 pages are reprinted. This reprint does not merely edit-out a half page unimportant to the story as a whole, but cuts off the final half page eliminating the story's ending gag. An ad for a novelty "television bank" from Seagee Co. takes the half-page place of the missing story material.
Notes:
Ad offering a bank in the form of a television set, which “lights up the instant you drop coin”! The ad makes the following claims (reproduced verbatim): “Shows brilliant pictures in full color!”, “Hits every television high… fights and all!”, “Thrills you and your friends pop-eyed!”, “And… Makes your savings mount up fast!”, “All-steel construction. Only $1.98.” This ad appears where the cut half-page to end the previous "Heckle and Jeckle" story would have been. Top half of page.
Notes:
Ad offering loans of money to individuals “over 25 years of age and steadily employed”. "Mail coupon now for free loan papers"! The title area of the ad pictures a "drawn" smiling postman offering an envelope (presumably) with a check inside. Actual black-and-white photographs of real people accompany the following captions: "Pay doctor Bills", "Pay insurance", and "Pay old debts". Lower half of page.
Notes:
Ad offering a free set of ball-point pens in different colors for subscribing to various St. John comic book titles. Twelve-issue subscriptions are offered for one dollar, for a saving of 20-cents on each subscription. Selected titles are offered by category: “HUMOR”: Mighty Mouse Comics, Paul Terry’s Comics, and Little Eva. “ROMANCE”: Teen-Age Romances, Wartime Romances, Pictorial Romances, Diary Secrets, and Teen-Age Temptations. “ADVENTURE”: Fightin’ Marines, Authentic Police Cases, Strange Terrors, Weird Horrors, and Atom-Age Combat.
Notes:
Statement of Ownership for October 1, 1952. No circulation figures appear as part of this report. Occupies the lower 1/4 of page 2 of the Mighty Mouse story - interrupting that story.
Notes:
Ad for a metal candle holder adorned by metal angels striking chimes, for which “heat from lighted candles makes angels revolve continuously”. Only $1.98 complete with candles.
Notes:
Jokes and humorous anecdotes, selected from "10,000 Jokes, Toasts, and Stories" Copyright 1939, 1940, by Lewis and Fay Copeland. Published by Garden City Publishing Company, Inc.
Notes:
Ad for Lionel model trains offering a new 36-page full-color Lionel catalog, a rule book for model railroaders, and a model railroad town building kit. With an additional offer of an "official engineer's cap".
Notes:
Ad offering an "electronic walkie-talkie communication system", an "electric-TV projector", a toy sewing machine that "really sews", and a "new watch with mechanical brain".
Notes:
Ad offering two books, "Fun for Boys" ("The most wonderful book for boys ever published!") and "Fun for Girls" ("Loads and loads of exciting things to do!) $1 each. Also a "Giant Collection of 100 Games" for $1, and a "Wild & Wooly Fur Hat" ("A real fur Dan'l Boone Trappers Hat... just like the pioneers wore.") for $1.98. Black and white ad on inside back cover.
