Your choice of clunky 1940s boy paraphernalia, including THE LARGEST CAMERA IN THE WORLD

Who wouldn’t want to get a rod to fish with their pals, a mitt to play ball, a camera to capture all the precious memories, or an axe to brain their tormentors? And all you have to do is fall into a GRIT-worthy magazine distribution racket (Collier’s), one with a vaguely-defined connection to the war effort. BUT YOU COULD GET AN AXE.

(Worthless Note: I had never seen “Fellers” in an advertisement ever, until I saw this ad and a creepy kid-infused Ju-Jitsu promo, and they were back to back. Fellers come in bunches, it seems.)
