1969.10.14 Le Soleil Page 48 Simpsons-Sears Holiday Ad

For 1969 Simpson-Sears published this ad in Le Solei (The Sun) titled "Le Pays des Jouets Ouvre!" - "Toyland Opens!" in English. It has a rather interesting rendering of the Major along with the Satellite Locker - probably done by someone in-house as the Major is fairly inaccurate, if cute.

1969.10.14 Le Soleil Page 48 Simpsons-Sears Holiday Ad - Detail

MAJOR MATT MASON!

2.44 l'ens. = 2.44 l’ensemble

Matt Mason, le chef des astronautes! - Matt Mason, the leader of the astronauts!

Paul's Notes:

The word “ensemble” means “together” and when used as a noun (as it is here) describes a grouping of people or objects - in this case the combination of Matt and Locker.
