This is a bit of a sore subject around these parts of the boards.  If the book is older than the arbitrarily set time period of 6 months, you're not supposed to call them ads anymore.  At that point, we've been instructed to call them reference materials.

Instructing! 

Tell them to go and fly a kite Master Logan. Preferably one of those Spider-Man ones in the adverts in the eighties :)

No! How did the boy from the movie Newsie get Grit ? did they ship it to your house?

Why was the goal only to make $52 a year?

Here is a classic

I had a bowl of them. A whole family of the things, swimming around. They all died, alas, when I forgot they were there and put all my spare grit in the bowl.

I’m intrigued as well.

I’ve had a quick Google here in the U.K., and all I get are ads for sandpaper.
