[AT] Some ads from the 11/19 Lancaster Farming

[Mike Sloane]

I saw these advertised in a replica car/truck/tractor flyer a couple of 
years ago, and I think they were the common size made by Ertl or one of 
those. But the older versions were made by Hubley. If you do a Google 
search for "toy telephone truck", you will get a wide variety of hits. I 
suspect the ones being advertised are the newer manufactured versions. 
And the price is about in the middle of what I observed in my search.

The price seemed a little high to me, but the prices of the pedal 
tractors is what really shocked me. That is the only reason I posted the 
two ads.

The most certain test by which we can judge whether a country is really
free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities. -Lord Acton (John
