An all new c2c scan from a Mr Timely comic.
A Rangerhouse scan, edit by Yoc.

A unique giveaway from CHICAGO MAIL ORDER CO.,
Most pages have small panels of catalog ads with the same item (often clothing) shown being used in the stories.
This is the first time we can think of where such product placement was used like this in a comic. The practice is quite common in Hollywood features.
