Thanks for posting the article SpeedofLite . I'm sure that I read this back in my high school days. The vintage ads are just as interesting. Bicentennial bike tours. An ad mentioning gasoline at $.65 per gallon.

Yeah, that shirt is awesome. The mask covering the face is timely with what's going on at the moment.
