1960 Elvis & Juliet





"Oh, it's Juliet Prowse...That's Frank Sinatra's girl! What's she doing with Elvis? ...Has Elvis gone off his rocker?"  The newsy tidbits flew faster than a gossip columnist's pencil. 

Juliet, in a crisp green cocktail dress, slid her arm through Elvis' while he tried to cut a pathway into the club.  As he felt her touch, he grasped hold of her arm as though it was the last thing he was goint to feel, ever. He looked into her blue eyes as if for reassurance and she looed up at him, a small smile gently curving her lips.

1960 Cot for Babies & Toddlers


Pint-Sized Cot Keeps Baby Happy
From November 1960 Popular Mechanics


Built to provide baby with a safe, comfortable and familiar bunk anywhere the family goes, the new British "Autocot" fits snugly between the front seat and the rear deck in any car; won't slip during turns or sudden stops.  The canvas hammock is slung from an aluminum frame which expands from 40 to 48 inches in two-inch steps to adjust to cars of any length.  Outside the car, aluminum legs fold down to make a bed or seat for the yard, beach, or hotel rooms.  The whole cot weighs only four pounds, and collapses for carrying and storage into a flat 24-inch package.  Thus a bed familiar to the baby can be carried anywhere.
