Quiz about Fractured Mail Order Catalogues

Fractured Mail Order Catalogues Quiz

Although I rarely buy anything from them, I love to browse through mail-order catalogues. Bourgeois that I am, it gives me a sense of well-being. I give you a name in fractured form. You type in the correct name: Ill ale being=L.L. Bean. No ampersands.
