Boy what a response.  Thanks to all well meaning helpful galoots.
I'll try the Lee Valley.  I just thought maybe there were some phillips bits
out East.
Here in chicago I have found one hardware store that still has a good
selection of Yankee bits.  Some of the posts sound like Yankee phillips bits
are scarce.  These bits, (I've bought my share) are cheap.  NO SKU # and old
price stickers barely readable.  If anyone really needs some yankee bits,
I'll go grab what you need.  I hope this doesn't start a Paddy-lac stampede
just let me know.

Thanks again
