Ad for space-race condos, 1961

I love the design for this 1961 Saturday Evening Post huckster ad flogging condos built in the shadow of the burgeoning US space program: "How can you miss? Be one of the first to own prime Florida land right in the "path of progress" in the already established community of Port Malabar--only 32 miles south of Cape Canaveral. Don't delay and be sorry at the opportunity you missed. Act Now! Mail the coupon -- get all the facts--then figure out how big a 'Piece of America' you can afford at these rock bottom prices." Love the lettering! Invest in the Dynamic Cape Canaveral Area (Nov, 1961)...
