Those were the days when an ad cost $75.00, Doris.....a double page ad might cost $150-200 then and people could afford to spread holiday cheer alot more. Compare that with today's cost to place an ad in the REVIEW. Those ads were neat....GSD's sitting altogether in front of a tree or fireplace.....I miss them too, but not too many can afford to say Merry Christmas in this way anymore.
