New Illustrated: History of the United States, by American Heritage- 16 volumes (HC, 1963, $12 for set, which is 1/3 the internet price.)
I was around 8 years old when this series showed up at our local A. and P. Supermarket. I remember that the first volume was free with a store purchase, but apparently it was really $.49. The rest of the volumes were $.99, which is about what I remember. Every week there was another volume to buy. It was all so exciting!
I had a lot of fun with this set. See if you don't too. Look for it in the sets section.
