I remember that. A full page ad in color. Featuring a gentleman wearing a suit and tie, holding a shotgun, standing in a field, with a big grin. I thought it was kind of cool, the man dresses up to go hunt the wabbits.

I tried to find the ad but so far no luck! Google has a lot of ad pictures, but not the one I want.

Most likely a gun club gentman about to go shot some quail.

The only Charles Daly ad I found remotely similar is this one.....

I have some old 1940s and 1950s rifle and target pistol ads with guys wearing suits. Remington did a whole series pre-WWII featuring men smoking pipes and wearing suits. If I remember right there was generally a guy wearing more casual clothes showing off the gun for the suited guy.

If we drop the requirement down to sports coat and/or shirt and tie, that covers half of the American rifle ads up to the mid '50s.

If I only had a time machine.

I don't know what is more incredible to 21st Century eyes, the low prices or the fact that the guy is selling guns legally in Chicago.

Johnny, I'd give a small part of my anatomy to have a couple of those BSA Martini rifles! I have 4ead of the .310 Cadet rifles, and have long wanted one chambered for 7.62X38r. That would be so cool!

Imagine having 15 bucks and trying to decide whether to buy 2 air mattresses or a MkIII.
