GRO-PUP T-Bone
The Snack That's Packed With Good Nourishment. Fun for you. Fun for your dog. But these bone-shaped biscuits are far more important than that. Gro-Pup T-Bone rewards your dog the best way of all—with the kind of nourishment you know he needs. You could feed nothing but Gro-Pup T-Bone day after day and relax with the pleasant knowledge that your dog is getting all the properly balanced protein, vitamins and minerals that are essential to a long and healthy life. In addition to nutritious snacking, Gro-Pup T-Bone provides good chewing exercise for sound teeth and gums. Treat your dog to Gro-Pup biscuits in T-Bone form and you can be confident you're treating him right. © 1961 by Kellogg Company. Try GRO-PUP Ribbon, too!

The Permanent
WHY CHOOSE an A-frame retreat? First, because it is economical, roomy, easy to maintain, and pleasing to the eye. It can be as simple as a permanent tent, or you can extend it to the limits of your budget and energy. It serves equally well as a beach house, a woodlands cabin, a hunting or fishing camp, or a ski lodge (don't forget the fireplace and proper insulation). Whatever the size, it's not hard to build. Basically, the A-frame house consists of a series of timbers put up in the shape of the letter A, one pair behind the other until the desired length is reached. The poles can be as tall as a two-story building and still be secure, since the buttressing is inherent in the design. This frame is then covered in any number of materials, such as plain wood siding, tempered hardboard, exterior plywood, or thin aluminum sheets. If the house is to be at the beach or on top of a mountain, glass or plastic might be better for some of the panels, to get the most out of a beautiful view. THESE HOUSES can be added to or modified at will and can be built in a series of separate stages. Walls are eliminated, and you get plenty of extra storage space just below the ridge line. Perhaps best of all, the A-frame design makes it possible for the owner to do a lot of the construction work himself. A simple model can be put up by two adroit and industrious adults in less than a week. Improvements can come gradually, spreading the cost over a number of years.
