All - This is an interesting Smith ad from a 1912 Forest and Stream that I thought some might like to see. I have never seen this one before, although maybe someone else has.
The subject matter is not like any other that I have seen in a Smith ad. I wish I knew the reason behind it, but it's a bit of mystery to me (could the woman be a teacher, the "Smith Guns are Best" banner a ruler and this is the lesson of the day, with everything leading to Fulton?). In any event, the subject matter sets it apart from the other ads of the era, and maybe that is the real answer.
