Amanda Blake and Jim Arness Take An L&M Break on GUNSMOKE Set, Hollywood

September 08, 1958.  Life Magazine back cover.  An ad for L&M Cigarettes featuring Amanda Blake and Jim Arness from the extremely popular television western, GUNSMOKE.  I liked GUNSMOKE back when I was a child and I still like GUNSMOKE today.  The television show had a wonderful cast and really good scripts, and it had the gorgeous Jim Arness.  I even like the old-time radio show version of GUNSMOKE that starred William Conrad as Matt Dillon.  I started listening to old radio shows about twenty years ago and GUNSMOKE was one of the best - just as good as the T. V. show.

"Any treat will stop a trick . . . as long as it's from POST TREAT-PAK"

October 27, 1958.  LIFE Magazine.  I really like the DICK SARGENT illustrations for POST Cereals.  "No tricks this Halloween when the treat's from POST Treat-Pak.  Six boxes of snack cereals especially for children.  Sugar Crisp, Sugar Rice Krinkles and new POST Alpha-Bits . . . every one -- fun!"
