Oh, right.

Re above, it was Clairol hairspray. (Gel?? What decade are you thinking of?!?)

Can you tell me what you're supposed to "look for......when you are buying a dress, skirt or a blouse"?

And does anyone know what LS/MFT meant on the cigarette ads? I have a guess but I don't actually know.

LS/MFT : Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
This does sound kind of lame - but that's what it stands for.
