The Yankee offer would boost Mickey's pay to $37,500 this year and even though that ain't hay, it
As a banner box-office attraction who batted .353, drove in 130 runs and hit 52 homers to lead the league in all those departments last season, as well as win the circuit's Most Valuable Player award, Mantle feels he is entitled to at least $60.000.

The Yankees realized he probably would turn down the first offer but they wanted to establish a price from which they could bargain. The highest salaried Yankee currently is Yogi Berra, who receives an estimated $55,000 this year.

THINKING
ABOUT AN
ENGAGEMENT
RING
In the first place, bring your wife-to-be along. After all, she'll be wearing that ring for years and years. So, bring her with you to help select the ring.
The next thing TIVOL suggests is that you take your time.
Don't buy your ring from a catalog page or from a newspaper advertisement. Take your time and see all the rings you can before deciding—and then, go ahead.
Financing is something else. A diamond ring is a serious purchase. If you wish to pay for it a bit at a time, be sure you know what the exact terms are. At TIVOL, payment can be arranged on a budget plan—without carrying charges or interest.
And finally, come to see the TIVOL collection. We have engagement rings and wedding bands from 90.00. We will be pleased to show you rings in one of the private showing rooms at either our Downtown or Plaza shop. And our very best wishes for your happiness!
