New cite for "Whole Nine Yards" (1967)

[Sam Clements]

And, if anyone wants to follow this up, the "Robert G. Helton" named in the
article is perhaps the proprietor of "Helton's Service Center" in Atmore,
AL.  (251) 368-3366.  (A Robert G. Helton is listed as the proprietor).

*note that Atmore, AL is 90 miles North of ...ta da.....Ft. Walton Beach.

At least he may know if he read it in Doom Pussy or has a different
explanation.

NewspaperArchive has added some Pacific Stars & Stripes.

13 Nov 1967 _Pacific Stars and Stripes_  pg 11?

"Spec. 4 Robert G. Helton, 64th Quartermaster Bin.--"Ann Margaret---all the
way.  She's got everything going for her.  She dances, sings, acts---the
whole nine yards."

Is this now the second oldest cite?  What month was "Doom Pussy" released?
