OTASCO 1969 Christmas Gifts & Toys! Catalog

Otasco 1969 Christmas Gifts & Toys! Catalog Cover

OTASCO (Oklahoma Tire and Supply Company) was a retail chain specializing in auto parts and appliances based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In my region we had Western Auto - OTASCO stores could be found in the plains states. If it was like Western Auto they would always have big display toys by Topper and Remco up high and carried a lot of riding toys like bicycles and hobby horses. This 1969 gift catalog has a neat print quality with the reds cranked up - the "Zeroid" Commander Set was marketed alongside the Major Matt Mason Space Mission Team and a couple of tin toys.

No mention of Zerak in this 1969 ad, which focuses on the introduction of the Zeroid Commander Set.
