    Unfortunately a flooded basement put paid to my WWII vintage American Rifleman magazines. If I remember correctlly, the ad was reproduced in a book on NRA ads and articles on WWII. I have a copy but can't get to it as the house is in the midst of new paint and trim. I am lucky to find my mind.

    Be careful of paint fumes. I don't trust the new low VOC paints either. More than a decade ago I went to a garage sale and as I recognized the house, I asked after the owner. His wife told me he had been painting the house interior and had developed severe headaches. Not long after symptoms of dementia appeared and from there it was all down hill and he passed away within a year IIRC.

    Presumably some type of unusual reaction, or ??
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
