A catalogue I receive in the mail regularly (every 2 to 3 weeks on average) has this rather eggregious syntax error on its back cover:

 
Shouldn't that read "...when you shop FOR items priced..."? Cry
 
Are there any other companies that use bad syntax or grammar in their print advertising (catalogues, newspapers, magazine adverts, etc.)?
If so, this is the thread to post them in.
With pictures if possible; but pictures can be omitted if desired.

Comcast advertises a "Free Install Kit". 
I see businesses "Closed for Remodel".
