Swillmart
My shredder has been pushed to the edge of collapse these last few days. I spent most of last night knee deep in large boxes of old papers and forgotten folders. I fed king-sized portions of pulp into the dispassionate teeth of my favorite ribbon maker. Amongst all the shavings, I ran across metric tons of neato nostalgia. For example, I found a folder of police reports from 1999 that documented a time when my veteran oldsmobile was stolen on an almost bi-weekly basis. Ah, the memories. I also found this interesting little parody of a newspaper circular advertisement. It’s for a store called Swillmart (At Swillmart, We Take the Profits and Pass the Prices On to You!). It looks to have been produced sometime in the 70’s but I’m unclear as to its origins. The above pictured item is just one of the great products from the NoNamo company that was available from the Swillmart catalog. Other products include titles like: Liquid Carpet, Swillmont Wine, Home Salt Lick, and the Legionnaire’s Disease Detectolarm.
