I recently pick up the ad that Fred shows. On the reverse is "A Few Words From the Chief." The Chief being the Chief Scout Executive and he's writing about the upcoming Boy Scouts' 11th World Jamboree (it was held in August 1963 in Greece). I'm guessing it's from a Boy Scout Magazine.

I'm from the era these ads were from. I never saw any in southeast Iowa. But in the Mayfair ad I did get a kick out of the Green Stamps logo. When I was young, my major chore was pasting the stamps in the booklets to trade in. Mom loved them.

Hey Mike:

Just found another Picture Pal ad with a different Mantle photo! At least the kid is different.

Man, not another one!??! Do you know what magazine this is from?

I did some surfing on the nets and found the other Mantle ad is in the July 1963 issue of Boy's Life. Unfortunately, Boy's Life had an eastern and a western edition. The copy I found in Google Books has the ad with Berra and no indication of what edition it is. The flip side is exactly the same as the flip on the Mantle ad. So buying an issue only gives you a 50% chance of getting the Mantle ad. I did order a western edition (it was mailed to a Texas address and I'm assuming that is considered western). I'll report back whether that is the Mantle or Berra version of the ad.

Found this on a KC A's Facebook Group sorry for the huge size.
