browse these classics from our popular consumer campaign. These are among the very few ads ever read for pure, unadulterated educational pleasure. Enjoy!
Our series of "info-ads" about mulch and the criminal activities of a local paper mill adding cancer-causing dioxins and furans to its mulch has changed the way people in Pennsylvania and Maryland view and purchase mulch. When connected to the food chain, as most gardens are, the cancerous dioxins and furans soon leach-out and are uptaken in vegetables and are then eaten by people. No wonder York County has one of the highest cancer rates in the nation! All from that filthy paper mill's past criminal activities.
Two subsequent newspaper articles in The Weekly Record and York Daily Record also exposed these shameful actions and the conspiratorial vendors who sell the poisonous mulch to the unsuspecting public.
Our ads are highly entertaining, thought-provoking, sometimes shocking, provide copious amounts of common sense information, urge people to do things and tell them how. People all over the region have collected our ads for years. Cool, and many thanks.
