 A TOUGH WEEK FOR OENOPHILES, after Pizza Hut announced it has developed a tomato based wine. The chain said its “Tomato Wine” delivers a “blend of fresh herbs and spices, with rich unripened tomato notes and a subtle hint of toasted oak – reminiscent of a perfectly baked pizza crust.”******************************************* PURSUING EXCELLENCE after Swiss chocolatier Lindt admitted in court filings that its chocolate is not in fact “expertly crafted from the finest ingredients” Responding in a class action lawsuit alleging the presence of toxic heavy metals, Lindt’s lawyers argued that advertising claims of Lindt’s “excellence” were not substantive assertions but mere “puffery.”*******************************************
AWKWARD SONG SELECTION, after Celine Dion’s TItanic movie theme song hit, “My Heart will Go On,” played over speakers abroad Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas as the cruise ship was rocked by a violent storm off the Canary Islands. “We actually thought it was part of special effects,” one passenger said.

ONLY IN AMERICA , a South Carolina school teacher has filed a sexual harassment claim against a 10 year old student whose hugs she did not appreciate. The unnamed teacher alleges the boy hugged her on multiple occasions, at one point even laying his head on her chest. The boy’s mother Lindsay Cased, concedes her son is a very loving child,” but says the formal complaint is an overreaction as is the school subjecting her son to a “no hug policy” pending investigation.

| Gift Ideas for you… and they are good to give away too! |
These are great presents, if you can’t decide, the Bannermans are sure-fire winners. We also like the Sears 1942 Power Tools Catalog (42 pgs) and the Sears 1908 Catalog (280 pgs and covers a wide range of Sears offerings… fun to read)
Bannerman Arms Catalogs – we like the 1903 or ’04 and the 1925 or ’27 editions, everyone should have at least one of these…
These titles are must have booklets for your next tiger hunt…
Check out the triangular ammo for this pistol…
Don’t miss The Tenderfoot’s Turn included with the 1909 Savage catalog…
And then the 1934 Federal Labs* had some novel gear for crowd control, “air spraying… toxic gases such as tear gas, sickening gas and blistering gas. When used with such gases… effective control of mobs and local uprisings.” Also, rifled mortars, frag bombs, Tommy guns, or if you need to protect your bank or store, “No Shooting in Crowded Lobbys (sic),” with, “… scientific method of flooding the entire public lobby with a concentration of impenetrable tear gas and fog.” Or a steel sandwich of toxic chemicals protect your bank vault from torches or drills. Armored Limousines and trucks, coffman starter, and more…
Over the counter Silencers…
Some youth publications you probably had (or your dad, or grandad had)…
Eugene Stoner was the father of the M-16 and other weapons…
For shifty cousins…

I never seen a internet company I hate more than you. I think your job to make copies of these good old brochures is just wrong like steealing. Companys want to protect their privacy and you spoilthat when you do what you do and it is probably illegal and you could go to jail. Got to Hell. Jimmie Carpenter
Wow, well OK then, y’all have a nice Christmas. By the way, I see, checking our records, you have not been a customer so if you ever want to order something from us just let either of us us know so we can expedite your order… Rob and Abby

Hello Franco, It looks as if the booklet was not properly set for PDF sales. I think I fixed it, so, would you mind trying again? If you still have a problem, please let me know. Best wishes, Abby

Once again I am excited to get another of your reprints. History in the hand. Thank you for your skills , dedication and I get hysterical at the brainless letters sent to you and the totally crazy replies to the morons.
