Cool.  Thanks!

My favorite "old ad" was one from Sears from a time when they
used to sell build-it-yourself house kits.

One included a guarantee that the buyer would be reimbursed
10 cent for every knot they found in the wood that they were shipped
(this, at a time, when the cost of a stud was well under a dollar).

Try springing this on the lumberyard the next time you buy
some construction timber.
