Sparky’s Hazard House
Although not as famous as McGruff the Crime Dog, Sparky the Fire Dog has been around for a while.
I am particularly interested in his "house of death by incineration" diorama.
Apparently you can still purchase one from this company.
You might also want their Hazard Farm model.

Why is hubby vacuuming during relaxed beer-and-pretzels hour? OCD? Submissive ritual with dominant mistress? Your guess is as good as the copywriter's!

This wife has a problem bigger than an inconsiderate husband--he's a clinical alcoholic!
From THE ELKS MAGAZINE for November 1950.
