Great to see this still brings a lot of laughs. My father is Jack Barlow aka Zoot Fenster. One of Elvis Presley's drummers D. J. Fontana thought up the name "Zoot Fenter" for my dad to use. The song actually did quite well it was #1 in Florida for about 3 weeks. I believe in the same catalog there is another page advertising window curtains and someone had taken a pencil eraser and wrote the "F" word on the photo of curtains and it also got published, it was hard to see but it was there, I remember finding it myself. The other picture was probably done the same way, employee joke or mad employee, who knows. There were other novelty songs he did under the name "Zoot Fenster" as well.
