Print Ad for Handguns from the early 1920s

I just received this scan of a page from the "Lucky Bag" yearbook (from the Naval Academy). I believe it was from 1922. My maternal grandfather attended school there, which is why we are in possession of the book.
This just goes to show that marketing handguns to women is not something new - although the text reads like it's exhorting men to provide handguns to their womenfolk.
Enjoy!

Do you have the whole yearbook? I’ve always heard that Hyman Rickover was on a special page with the other jew in that class so the other classmates could easily tear it out.

Our womenfolk are mighty independent now-a-days. LOL
Just the other day I was watching an old twilight zone episode and a guy goes to a woman’s appartment and says “Make me a cup of coffee” LOL

I was just watching a punk documentary, "X: the unheard music" (1986) which contains a snippet from an Edsel ad. A chirpy woman talks about the Edsel's outstanding style. Then a man steps into the screen --
"But, that's not all Diane ..."
"Oh, now you're going to do all that Man Talk that I can never understand!"
"That's right, Diane ..."

LOL I've got 4 sisters and wouldn't have survived 10 seconds stepping on them like that.

Right hand drive.
Right hand drive means you can shoot using your right hand right out the window at that troublemaker on the sidewalk!

That's quite an appreciation over 90 years.
I'm buying rifles to hold for the grandkids. I figure it's safer than stocks.

“PACKED AND STACKED” is the search term I used to find that pic. I remember the show and the calendars well.
Although, I have a wife and plenty of firearms, so I’m thinking the Sportster is looking pretty good.

Not necessarily.
Standards weren’t all totally worked out by then.
