"Pardon my ignorance....but what is a reducing record?"

Just add water, wait one day, come back and you'll have a Little Wonder.

Seriously, I have never seen one of these without a set number on it.

Best wishes, Mark

It is actually a early exercise record to do weight loss. There are ads out there that
Wallace put out with photos of before and after results. I am not sure if this was part of a set or not.I am thinking it was just a single record, maybe before the sets

I have the whole set of these (quite amusing to listen to, actually) but I have not seen the single disc either. Perhaps this disc was the "free" one you could send away for?

Cool record. I was going through my collection of old farmers almanacs, the oldest being from 1870 with the latest being 1888. The adds in the back of the Almanacs had nothin about weight loss, but to the contrary. Lots of "miracle weight gain" supplements and medicines. Lots of ads asking, "Ladies are you too skinny and would like to look better?"

I was wondering when America went from being too skinny to being too fat :lol:
