Original ad text reads:

Dodge is right on target with the '75 Dart Special Edition. It's a lot of luxury in a little car. 

If you've found that a lot of small cars today are pretty small on comfort and style, then the '75 Dart Special Edition is the small car for you. It has an array of standard features that are usually anything but standard. Seats covered with crushed velour upholstery. Plush carpeting on the floor, halfway up the door, and even in the trunk. Map pockets are standard. So are color-keyed wheel covers. And front disc brakes. And power steering. Even the radio is standard. In other words, on the '75 Dart Special Edition, luxury comes as standard equipment. And, as on all the '75 Darts, there are a lot of money-saving engineering features such as Electronic Ignition and electronic voltage regulator and, now for 1975, an optional fuel pacer that can help you save gas. Today, over one million satisfied owners are already sold on Dart. The '75 Dart Special Edition is one beautiful way to make sure there'll be one million more.  

The Dart board proves it. Dodge is right on target with small cars. 

Extra care in engineering makes a difference in Dodge. Depend on it.

From the clipping files: 1973 Big Wheel, Mini Wheel, Sport Wheel and Little Wheel by Marx toy advertisement

Original ad text reads:

Safety study shows Marx Big Wheel most stable tricycle design tested in U.S.A. 

Deluxe Big Wheel
The original Big Wheel with two new features. A handy saddlebag, and a firm-grip handbrake that lets him slow down and stop without dragging his feet. For kids 4 to 7 years old, weighing up to 65 pounds and 40 to 55 inches tall. 

Mini Wheel
The smallest of the Big Wheel line. For tots 1 1/2 to 3, weighing up to 45 pounds and 30 to 38 inches tall. 

Sport Wheel
Like the Big Wheel, only smaller. And just as safe. For the 3-year-old up to the 6-year-old who is short for his age. 60 pounds maximum. 40 to 55 inches. 

Little Wheel
A scaled-down Big Wheel for 2 1/2- to 4-year-olds. Features low-slung stability. Scoop contour seat. Oversized front wheel. For kids 38 to 45 inches tall, weighing up to 50 pounds.  

A five-month study on the safety performance of the best-known tricycle designs in the United States has just been completed for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Bureau of Product Safety. Of all the tricycles tested, the design of the Marx Big Wheel was found to be most stable for children six and under. 

Marx designed the Big Wheel especially for safety. The low-slung seat and extra-wise-track rear wheels prevent turnovers. The oversized front wheel and ground-hugging suspension won't let your child tip over backwards. Notice that non of the wheel have spoke to catch jeans. It can't rust. It can't dent. And it's built to take punishment.
And now Marx has incorporated this same Big Wheel safety design into a whole line of tricycles for smaller children. Pick the model best suited to your youngsters' age, size and weight. They'll have the thrill of their young lives... and you'll have the confidence of knowing you're giving them the most stable tricycles you can buy.

From the clipping files: 1975 Best of the West Collection by Marx toy advertisement

Original ad text reads:

"Best of the West" The best way we know to get kids away from TV 

Television is a great babysitter, but growing children also need more creative diversions. The Best of the West Collection by Marx will keep your kids engrossed for hours. These are not the static dolls or "tin soldiers" you knew as a child. Each of the Best of the West people stands almost a foot tall and moves freely. Your child can make them swing their arms, move their legs, turn their heads. They can sit, stand, crawl and ride on of the many horses, wagon and buckboards available in the Best of the West collection. 

Your child doesn't need the whole Collection to have fun. All figures may be purchased separately. And each one comes with its own individual line of accessories. Johnny West, for instance, has 21 pieces of authentic cowboy clothing, weapons and utensils. Jane West has 27 separate pieces and outfits. And Geronimo comes with 36 pieces of authentic Indian gear. 

The next time you want your kids to take a TV break, get out Johnny West and his friends... and then let their imagination take over. You'll all have a pleasant day. 

Marx
If we make it... it can take!

From the clipping files: 1975 Del Monte Alaska Shrimp advertisement and coupon

Bet you two bits you dan't beat this little shrimp. 

From Alaska's icy waters comes a fantastic shrimp—tiny, pink, sweet and tender. Now Del Monte quick-freezes these tiny little rascals individually—no block to thaw, no shells or waster, nothing to cook. 

Open the bag and shake 'em out to serve—hundreds of tasty little shrimp to the pound. Great for shrimp cocktails, salad, omelettes, hors d'oeuvers. Use them as you need them and keep the unused portion frozen right in the bag. It's like having an icy Alaska inlet right at your door. 

Shrimp Batch: shake thawed Del Monte Alaska Shrimp in a bag with equal amounts of cornstarch and fine cracker crumbs. Fry quickly in hot oil. Serve immediately. Fantastic!

Coupon at bottom of ad is for 25 cents.
