Gibson's Discount Center published this nearly full-page ad in the December 7, 1967 Lubbock Avalanche-Journal "Thursday Morning Edition." Note that this same ad is published later in the day in the Evening Edition on a different page. It includes an image and description of the Major Matt Mason Flight Set for $1.77. It erroneously list No. 6303 Major Matt Mason with Moon Suit which based on the price, appears to be a misprint.
