NEW KIND OF AUTO EYES MAKES NIGHT DRIVING Safer than Day! (Aug, 1931)

NEW KIND OF AUTO EYES MAKES NIGHT DRIVING Safer than Day!

Fits Any Headlight. . . Ends Dangerous Dimming . . . Doubles Roadlight!

AT LAST! An amazingly queer yet simple invention lifts the curse of night driving from the motoring world. This altogether new discovery called “Perfect-O-Lite,” replaces old glass “bulbs” in your automobile headlights with truly amazing results. Road illumination is instantly doubled yet glare is absolutely banished. Ordinary objects in the road, ruts, animals, obstructions, etc., are made clearly visible at least three times as far. Instead of ordinary “direct” light, this beam is composed entirely of double-reflected or “infused” light. This new kind of light cuts right through the other fellow’s headlights. Even shoots through fog, mist, rain and snow.

My man likes something unexpected now and then (Jan, 1970)

Issue: Jan, 1970

My man likes something unexpected now and then. That’s why I serve him rice.

Rice is full of tasty surprises. It’s as quick and easy to vary as adding chopped chives. Or topping with paprika. Or tossing with crumbled bacon and sour cream. Or shredded Cheddar cheese. Or toasted almonds. In fact, there are so many ways to vary rice, you could have it every day for a year and not repeat yourself. That’s pretty unexpected from a little carton or package of rice.
