The ads were neat, like this one:

1. Very cool.

What did you pay, if you don't mind me asking.

6. Didn't buy it.

I just snapped the photo. I actually had a certain DUer in mind when I took it. He flew RF-84s in his younger days, IIRC.

2. I love these kinds of finds! I have a same-era booklet on "How to Build Your

Own Bomb Shelter." It's totally serious!

3. Might come in real handy

5. I've got this fallout shelter book...

Dad's sitting in his favorite chair, legs crossed tightly against the cruel universe, staring off into space, about to drop a magazine he's read a hundred times.

Mom is cooking a dinner of pasta, weevil maggots, and canned tomato sauce. These past few weeks everyone has been agreeing that maggots taste a lot like shrimp, all wishing silently they'd stocked more pepper in the shelter pantry.

As daughter dutifully sets the dinner table, she holds a large knife menacingly, glancing over at her mother's back...

The perfect suburban family of the post atomic age 'fifties.

(I probably read a similar review on Amazon, better written, and I'd post that if I could find it...)

4. My family moved from Freeport, Illinois, to

Commack Long Island in 1959 because dad took a job at Republic in Farmingdale.
