Graves will be open Memorial Day

I came across this ad while browsing an old National Lampoon True Facts book, which described it as being from an "unidentified Kansas newspaper":



After a bit of research I tracked the business down. It was Graves Drug Store in Emporia, Kansas. And it's still around.

I still have 'True Facts'. I also Have their 'Lemmings' album which is a parody of Woodstock.

The NatLamp was our bible of irreverence growing up. Don't forget the Harvard Lampoon, which was the immediate forerunner, and its parody of "Lord Of The Rings".
