1968.12.20 CA Hanford Sentinel Page 14 Penneys Pre-Holiday Toy Clearance Ad

Interesting full-page ad by Penneys (turned sideways so it's read from the edge of the paper) promoting a Pre-Holiday Toy Clearance. The Firebolt is prominent next to both the Penneys logo and "Clearance" and there's more of that graphic clip art showcasing the Astro Trac and two astronauts with cat trac vehicle accessories.
