                  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.
