Colt Revolver and 1983 Movie Newspaper Ad

 Here's a 1908 Colt Revolver ad--gun ads are always interesting to me. I'm just not sure why they bold the word USE in there...seems out of place.

From the Daily True American, 1901.

1903--the Opposite of Today

So apparently it was preferable back in the day to put some meat on your bones. This was from the Daily True American and was an ad for an elixir that would "put some flesh on you", and was not for fat people. Just skinny people.

Snake Bite and Negro Beating/Almost Lynching (1914)
