I always saw those ads in my brother's comic books, but never actually SAW a copy of Grit. I wasn't sure it really existed. But I guess the previous commenter proves that it really did!
I too suspected it didn't exist, despite my own flirtation with selling Christmas cards (in August) to earn my own Valuable Prizes.
But check out the awesome 70s bike his little pal Gloria (??) has won, with the deep-Y handlebars and the big sissy bar on the back of the banana seat!
I sold Grit as a youth.

I, too, considered this path to wealth as a lad. But you each bring up an incredibly valid point: who the heck exactly was subscribing to Grit?
