FOR years knitters longed for a PURE WOOL knitting yarn that
would be DEFINITELY and POSITIVELY SHRINKPROOF.
With the introduction last year of SUN-GLO Shrinkproof Wool,
carrying a LIFETIME GUARANTEE AGAINST SHRINKAGE, it
was therefore, only natural that this outstanding wool should meet with
such spontaneous success. Thousands of knitters immediately took
advantage of the time and money saving features of SUN-GLO, and
have since proved it to be the loveliest wool since knitting began.
Every garment you knit with SUN-GLO Shrinkproof Wool keeps its
soft, lustrous, unshrinkable beauty to the end of its life. You'll notice
no difference after hard and frequent washings-your knitwear continues
to keep the beauty it had when first knitted. SUN-GLO colours are
fadeless, the texture is rub-proof, and there is not even the fraction of
an inch of shrinkage after washing.
For brilliant styling, knit your new season's garments from the wide
range of beautiful new Sunbeam knitting wools now available: at
their attractive prices they are unapproachable for economy and value.

An advertisement for Pepsi-Cola featuring a stylish couple. The woman, with a drink and cigarette, looks at the viewer, while the man looks to the side.
For modern people, modern taste... Pepsi-Cola refreshes without filling
NEVER was a whole generation better to look at than
the slim, lithe youngsters of today. What's more,
insurance figures say they'll live longer than their grand-
parents did. And much of the reason is their modern,
more sensible diet.
That's why today Pepsi-Cola is more popular than ever.
Because it has constantly kept pace with the wholesome
change in taste to lighter foods and lighter beverages.
Today's lighter Pepsi-Cola is dry, never too sweet or
heavy, reduced in calories. It refreshes without filling.
Enjoy it whenever you want refreshment-either in the
familiar big economy bottle for two, or in the new single-
drink size. Have a Pepsi-the
modern, the light refreshment.

People are shown enjoying the mattresses in various positions. Prices are shown for various sizes of each mattress and boxspring.
SIMMONS MATTRESSES & BOXSPRINGS
The entirely new "King Rest"® range of forward in mattress design and sleep comfort!
give you exclusive "King Rest"®coils... the biggest step Years of research by Simmons sleep laboratory have put the new 1965 "King Rest" range way ahead of other mattresses for quality and price. You get Simmons exclusive "King Rest" coil construction, the biggest step forward in mattress comfort. Simmons exclusive patented crushproof borders. Fine quality, all-over micro-quilted surface. And, for the first time, a "big bed" size at a budget price. Plus a matching "King Rest" coil boxspring to partner every model in the range. HERE'S WHY "KING REST" COILS GIVE MORE COMFORT! Simmons team of scientific sleep research experts have revolutionized mattresses with this entirely new coil construction. "King Rest" coils are designed to give you more comfort plus 27% greater load carrying capacity and double mattress life. Compare "King Rest" with ordinary coils. Ordinary Coil (illus. left). Notice how every twist in the coil is similar in proportion. When you lie on an ordinary mattress the coil is pressed down completely, each twist has a steady pressure so the coil sags right down. Constant pressure like this means that coils that carry the heaviest part of your body sag under the load and don't spring back into place. "King Rest" Coils (illus. right) are designed so that only the first two twists of the coil at top and bottom give under body weight. The centre of the coil is tensioned and balanced for extra stability. This is why you sleep so comfortably. "King Rest" coils adjust quickly to your body weight and then firm-up to support you evenly. "King...

An advertisement for Lucky Strike cigarettes promoting them as a choice of tobacco experts. It highlights the brand's focus on finer tobacco and features an independent tobacco buyer.
With men who know tobacco best-it's LUCKIES 2 to 1
"Lady, you may know calico
...but I know tobacco!
"And I know Luckies pay the price for finer leaf!"
says F. L. Warren, independent tobacco buyer of Danville, Virginia
"In buyin' tobacco, you get what you pay for. Right before
my eyes, I see Luckies pay the price to buy tobacco that's
finer, lighter and milder. I figure that's why most tobacco
men like me smoke Luckies. I've smoked them 15 years."
Yes, Luckies pay higher prices to get the finer, lighter, natu-
rally milder tobaccos. If you're smoking more today, real
mildness is important. So take a tip from the independent to-
bacco experts-the buyers, auctioneers and warehousemen.

«Dling, dleng, dlong. It's the time for the lightest puff pastry and the sweetest jam. It's Saccottino time from Mulino Bianco.
A layer of thin pastry, a layer of fresh butter, a layer of pastry and one of butter... That's how puff pastry was made, when the mills were white. Add a spoonful of fruit jam and you will have the newest, richest and most delicious snack. When the bell rings, come and have a snack at the mill: there is the Saccottino, but also the Tortorella, the Crostatina, the Veneziana, the Tortina Campagnola, the Pandorino, the Dondolo... Many good snacks, all made with milk, butter, eggs and other natural ingredients.
Saccottino, one of the good snacks from Barilla.
Eat healthy, return to nature.»
