Owner's Description
This was the last of the 7 books to join my collection. And so I'd like to give a special shout-out to forum member Rob C., who was kind enough to part with this copy from his personal collection to complete this run.
This issue and #6 share the same back cover advertisement for fishing equipment from Niresk Discount Sales. Niresk (under several names) was run by Robert and Bernice Stone Kahn, who had previously operated a radio advertising agency back in the 1940s. Niresk's business model was pretty straightforward. They bought low-budget stuff -- everything from fishing rods to dolls to small kitchen appliances -- from knock-off-quality manufacturers, then sold them at a markup via mail-order advertisements. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they weren't always entirely ethical about this process, and were the subjects of at least a handful of FTC lawsuits for deceptive trade practices, especially throughout the 1960s (vastly inflating the "retail price" of their goods, hawking chrome-plated forks as silver, and so forth).
In any case, these 1977 ads were likely near the end of the run for Niresk, although I can't find any conclusive information about when they went out of business.
