[Milsurplus] Beachmaster ad

Sun, 3 Feb 2002 20:37:42 -0700

Yes Hue I hate to see them chopped up.

What we like to do is keep the magazine in one piece and copy the ad  on the
color copier. the source document stays much nicer when  you have it in the
dark!

if I can find this ad I will megga pixel scan it like I did the Motorola
military brochure... we got one report back that someone had printed a
poster sized print from the scan!
