Two ads for bowling alleys on the same page. I don't think that either minded because they were on the same page as Potato Pascual, the popular player and batting champion from 1958.

Hey, Luebke Roofing sponsored the pre-game show in 1959! They sponsored that t-shirt shooter last year.
Isn't it interesting that an ad for premium beers like Blatz and Hamm's and Old Style share a page with an ad for the area pharmacists?
And I should hope that the pharmacists did their one year internship at an ethical pharmacy.
Premium beers like Blatz, Hamm's, and Old Style? Really?
