Aurora
Full color 9 3/4" x 13" ad that is for the Aurora Model Motoring. This ad has two different drawings here and you might be surprised at what they are. In the first drawing it shows several boys of different ages playing very happily on their track as they are racing cars around and around, and their parents watching happily. The ad begins by asking, "Know what he really wants for Christmas? A Model Motoring set by Aurora. Who can blame him? Imagine what a thrill to be invited to "get behind the wheel" of a brand new XKE Jag and be told to let 'er rip! Look at it his way: off he goes...thundering into the straightaway, pedal to the floor on the upgrades...brakes screaming at the turns...flat out in the stretch...streaking past the checkered flag a split-second ahead of the pack". The text goes on with many more descriptions, but, the important thing is at the bottom of the ad, it says "Look what happens after the kids go to bed!" and we see a group of adults, playing excitedly.

Black and White 10" x 14" ad for "The new doll that cries with REAL tears!". There is a picture of this doll sitting next to the little girl that owns her. The doll has tears rolling from her eyes and the little girl seems happy. I am at a loss as to how she can cry "real tears". There are other pictures that show other tricks she can provide. "She blows bubbles", "She bathes like a real infant" and "She wets her diaper". The ad gives prices for five models, three sizes and two with luggage and a Fur Wig that CAN be washed. The prices range from $5.98 to $14.98.The ad says that you can order by mail from the store nearest you. The ad lists the stores the entire length of the ad.

Toytown
Full color 10" x 14" ad that brings your attention to Toytown. Toytown is featured in Butler Brothers own stores and the thousands that they serve. There are six pictures in this ad all showing a present and discussing it. In the first picture it shows Sunbabe and discusses what she has and how tall she is. Next it shows Doubl-Glo Decorations which were icicles and fairy-spun glass. The last one in the top row is Halsam Blocks and Logs. These toys were considered perfect for children with rounded edges and corners. The fourth toys were Plasco Toys which were things that little girls loved to play "grown-up" with. the fifth toy was Homa Tree Lights which would make illuminating your tree easy and modern. The sixth and last toys were Horsman Dolls which was a lovable 19" tall little girl that was available to be dressed in many things.
