We like to dig into back issues of the Communique magazine to unearth forgotten gems to share with you. Sometimes funny. Sometimes educational. Always interesting.
Today, we share some classifieds we thought you’d enjoy from the Feb 1976 Communique. 50 years ago this month! Unfortunately, no photos back in ’76, so you’ll have to use your imagination. Prices in parentheses are (2026 dollars). Enjoy!
