SLUG-A-BUG
I suspect this will offend someone or another but, I’m sorry, when something looks like a bug, to me, it’s a bug and not even an attractive looking bug in my opinion (although off-hand I can't think of any insect that I have found “attractive”)………..
So if your house is infected with the Stout Scarab bug, you need SLUG-a-BUG. It’s proven safe (or reasonably safe) for children, pets and even mother-in-laws (although the latter may not be what you’re looking for ). As far as I know the Stout Scarab bug is not particularly harmful, but it is distressful to look at and just think how you would feel having special guests over, relaxing in your living room as you are in the process of serving aperitifs’ when to your horror, a Stout Scarab crawls (or rolls) across your floor. How embarrassing! Your husband jumps to his feet and hollers, “Slug-a-Bug! Not a pleasant thing especially with your husband’s boss and his wife in the room…….
The low down on a Stout Scarab ---------------- (my inserts in italics))
When the Stout Scarab was introduced, there was nothing on the road quite like it. (I can understand that! ) Outside, it looked more like it was built by an airplane designer (or a Russian construction worker ) than by an automaker. In-fact, it was. (was what?) William B. Stout served as chief engineer of Packard's aircraft division during World War I. After the War, (suffering from acute “shell shock”) he designed a high-winged monoplane without the struts and wires that characterized earlier aircraft. Still later, his design for a three-engine commercial aircraft served as the inspiration for the successful Ford Tri-Motor. (thank God the Ford Tri-Motor didn’t look like this!
Not only did it have a unit construction body made out of light aluminum beer cans, it featured the famous 90 horsepower Ford flathead V8 engine placed at its exterior driving the rear wheels via a Stout-built three-speed manual transaxle. It has a 135-inch length (we not talking about a little ant here folks)!, 4-wheel independent coil spring suspension, and the most spacious (stomach) of any American car as the result of no running boards and no drive shaft tube. This $5,000 aerodynamically vehicle insect was well ahead of its time.
The Stout Scarab was an aerodynamic masterpiece (that’s a matter of opinion) that featured a rear-engine layout, flow through ventilation, concealed running boards, and modular seating. This particular example is the second Scarab created (captured).
The Scarabs were produced in very limited numbers, (I can understand why) with only nine examples created. Part of their rarity was due to their $5,000 price tag (per bug), an incredibly steep price in the post-Great Depression era, (not to mention the production of Slug-a-Bug) However, Scarabs did find homes with (in) some of America's industrial giants. Scout Scarabs resided in the garages (and their kitchens and living rooms) of the Wrigleys (chewing gum), the Dows (chemicals), the Strahanans (Champion Spark Plugs) and the Firestones. Mr. Stout was a close friend of these pioneers as well as Henry Ford.
