that extra yard

Indeed, four yards plus a meter. The yardstick above is from a long gone local Chevy dealership (def. click the image for a more substantial view).

Below are hasty segment pics of the rest. A meter stick from JC Penney (prob. the first metric item in my parents' household) circa the early 1970s. Plus three yardsticks, the bottom two from area businesses (Ivor Furniture's still around).
