Nov 1960: Overcoat ad from Burton

«You can't beat BURTON tailoring!»
An advertisement features a smiling man adjusting a woman's headscarf, both dressed in winter coats. The ad humorously suggests that buying a good overcoat is important for impressing your 'storm-daring charmer'. It encourages readers to browse Burton's selection of coats. You can't beat BURTON tailoring! November! There are some people who haven't a good word to say for it. But here's a fellow with another point of view—and it's easy to see why. There's nothing much wrong with any winter month when you've a storm-daring charmer like this to keep you company, and (let's be practical, too!) a good over- coat to keep you warm. Of course, we readily admit that the girl's the more important; but don't overlook the overcoat. Because she won't. In fact, the fonder she is of you the less she'll forgive you if you fail to do her credit. Illogical, but there you are! So perhaps before winter—and what you're wearing now - gets any older, you'd better look in at your nearest branch of Burton's and head for the 'ready-to-wear'. This'll bring you along- side as fine a choice of overcoats as you'll find anywhere in a wide range of styles, in a most interesting variety of materials, in exactly your size, and (not least !) at exactly the price you've been thinking you'd like to pay. Browse around. Try on as many as you like. Don't think of buying until you've found just the coat you want. Then-well, ring her up as soon as you like and fix the next day to look forward to. We'll be surprised if you don't find her especially warm-hearted. ... hand-cut, of course!

You can select from thousands of specialized programs for doctors, lawyers, contractors, farmers, brokers, screenwriters or just about any other legitimate business.

If those are recurring plot themes around your house, maybe it's time you looked into an Apple® IIc Personal Computer. It can run over 10,000 different programs, the world's largest library of personal computer software. So no matter what anyone in the family wants to do, an Apple IIc can help them do it. You can manage your personal finances with programs like Dollars and Sense and Tax Preparer. Pop a program like AppleWorks™ into its disk drive, and you've got an integrated spreadsheet, word processor and data base to help you catch up with your work at home.
