Would be cool to see some blackies bags to see what kind of representation they have in original packaging. (Will hunt to see what bags I have in files.)

I just dropped in to wish Bob a happy birthday. Not really here today. Must catch up with certain projects. Everybody play nice. No burning down the house!
XXOO,

Newspaperarchive.com has a lot of Canadian papers.
Maybe there's a chance to find something with Dave's keywords.
Didn't on my first quick search but didn't go very deep.
Have a coupla things I'm supposed to be doing right now.
Gotta get to them.
You guys have fun while I try to buckle down here.
The Red Flash!
George Sourlis sent me a link to this. Said he hadn't seen it before. Now that's saying something. If after all these years there was an Akro ad George hadn't seen, then there still may be some gems out there to be discovered.
LOL. I just wanted pics of that type in this thread.
I've heard the stories a lot. Seen the public stories. Heard versions which could only be told in private.
I just wanted to see some pictures.
Thanks. I wish I knew more about how to search anything other than the U.S. But glad to have keywords in any case.
First thing for me will be to pull up an atlas. I am shamefully ignorant of geography.
