    It’s great history for 90 years long since 1920!

  6. I remember all those ads for the greeting card sales clubs in the late 1970’s (STAR WARS era). I used to do those all the time. My first prize I picked was a model rocket kit, my mom bought all the boxes required. Now I am actual rocket scientist, and my son just got his first issue of Boy’s Life this past week.
