Happy Birthday - to Cousins by the Dozens 


Under a spreading family tree 
My budget tends to dwindle: 
So much increase in progeny 
Is tantamount to swindle!

Stop ugly lawn weeds fast with WEEDONE 
. . . the back saving chemical that can tell the weeds from the grass! 
This strong, healthy (and ugly!) dandelion has been Weedone-treated-its days are numbered! 
Only a short period after a Weedone treatment the weed wilts, shows definite signs of dying. 
The dandelion is dead, from leaf top to root tip. The fast, selective action of Weedone did it! 
WEEDONE can lick your lawn problems - because it actually selects dandelion, plantain and more than 100 lawn-scarring weeds, kills them, from leaf top to root tip-fast! Yet, WEEDONE won't kill fine lawn grasses. WEEDONE enters the system of the weed, kills the whole plant! No chemical- weed killer is more effective or safer to use. Get WEEDONE, it's been compounded specially for home lawns! 
Easy to apply . . . Liquid or Dry 
(still at the same low price!)
8-oz. can (liquid) for sprayer $1.00 
5lb. bag (dry) for spreader $2.25 
Larger sizes available. 
(Dry form slightly higher west of Rockies)

The average price of a new home then was $12700 about 2.46 times the yearly average wage of $5162. Which was about 1.99 times the price of a new car $2600.  Today
