Are you 12 years old? Are you a boy? Did you ever sell Grit?

I was grading some Spidey's tonight and came across one of the ads for selling Grit. Anyone here ever sell it?

 

Make any money?

 

The ad I saw was from 1971...freaking hillarious.

I sold the seeds and the Christmas cards for prizes of course I'm not a boy..if you can sell Girl Scout cookies..you can make'm buy christmas cards and garden supplies.

 

For those who answer this thread who did sell for these types of companies..what did you get?

I remember the things I got a tent, lantern, boat, sleeping bag, guitar and one of those fluffy dogs that is really a radio..

I know, that was for effect only...if you know the Grit ad, you would laugh!!!

 

I am not making this up, the coupon you send in requires you to be a boy and 12 (or older).

 

Girls need not apply! No way they could get away with that in this PC age.

 

And I think by my sig. line it is pretty clear I like Brundage girls!

You be a forest creature and not know the Gump?

 

Grit was a newspaper/magazine kids sold for The Man, to make a few pennies.

The ad....

I never sold for them, but this is one of their old comics. Does anyone have others? (I know I have seen at least one other, but I don't know how many different ones there are.)

Oh, I know, I know! They expanded it to girls by the early 70's....

I signed up for the greeting card sales that used to be advertised on the back of comics and when the stuff actually came I got scared and hid it somewhere.
