Cards from the Past

Yup, these pieces of correspondence were part of the commercial lifeblood of both the periodical world and the post office.

This is a 1978 sweepstakes come-on from RD.  No, we never won anything from them.

We were with Cox from when they first hung cable in OKC (around 1979????) until around 2000, when their incessant rate hikes chased us away.  We were NEVER late in our payments, however inflated.
I have several of these puppies.  This one is addressed to "contest entrant," but I pestered those poor folks at The Twilight Zone Magazine at least half-a-dozen times.

Have you ever read a nicer rejection letter?

An aside to my snide friends:  I don't keep EVERYTHING.  I used all of these as bookmarks.

See ya Monday!
