Few corrections from the text scrape that I missed.

READY SPREADY GO -is the one on the far left I'm pretty sure.

Which of course leaves SALT DISNEY making much more sense!

@EmmaDingle

Think you'll find that is "Oor Chilly".

"Oor Willy" is a cartoon series (alternates with "The Broons")

I have an Oor Willy cartoon annual from about 1984/5.

Good spot!
There's a few image scrape errors I should have checked before posting.
Have added a few beneath to original post.
