SEARCH IS ON FOR WORLD'S BIGGEST ROACH

       The next  time  you  are about to step on that roach scampering
  across the floor, think twice.

       If it looks big, really big,  it  could  win  you a trip to New
  York City or even $1,000. Unfortunately, it's disqualified  if  it's
  plastered to the bottom of your shoe.

       The makers  of  COMBAT Roach Control System this week announced
  the kickoff of their annual search  for the biggest cockroach on the
  world.

       To qualify, entries are "Wanted Dead, Not Alive"  but cannot be
  squashed or altered. Entry deadline is Sept. 30.

       Last year's search drew more then 2,000 entries. Entries should
  be carefully packaged  in  a  box  and  sent,  along with your name,
  address and phone number, to: COMBAT  Quest  for the World's Largest
  Roach, The Pest Shop Inc., 2231-B West 15th St. 75075.
