From Inside Detective, September 1944. You really get a feel of the target audience of this magazine by looking at the ads. Lots of ads for booze, career schools, work clothes, and insurance. And stuff like this:

Oh man. If I only had that tie. I'd get ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE LADIES.

[ribald-faggot.livejournal.com]

Get the tie, and the book, and learn hypnosis, and you'll be all set!

[ribald-faggot.livejournal.com]

Oh, and that girdle thing, of course.

[inkytwist.livejournal.com]

HELL YES. Not like it'd just push the fat into the legs and chest area, or anything.

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

Take it from Carl. He knows how to get all the ladies!

Teefs (the Owl God in the icon) now wants your icon's mullet.

I wonder if that tie idea is still under copyright.

I SMELL MONEY!!!!

And all the cancer. I bet it was radium paint that made it glow.

[inkytwist.livejournal.com]

Pssht. Cancer's in everything, nowadays.

Also, um, Why wouldn't they use a phosphorus base?

[meig.livejournal.com]

Back in the day they didn't realize that radium caused cancer. It was cheap and glowed in the dark, so it was nifty cool.

[chvickers.livejournal.com]

It was known by this time that phosphorus could cause fossey jaw in people who worked with it. It was considered far more dangerous than radium!

I came here to make that joke. 2QUICK4ME.

There's a joke here about the coolest thing I've ever seen being a giant cock, but I'm not gonna make it...

[salenelle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I figured someone else would have snagged that!

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

Clearly a classy mag!

[salenelle.livejournal.com]

Ten thousand John Malkoviches can't be wrong!

[purplesquirrel.livejournal.com]

I am going to make myself one of those ties.

"Touched by the wand of darkness..." and that's a pretty darn big wand!

Forget the tie. Bring on the whiskey and mint leaves.

[silera.livejournal.com]

it's like having whiskey for breakfast...

[ribald-faggot.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm.... breakfast whiskey.

[silera.livejournal.com]

breakfast of champions...

When my dad died in 1998, we found Carhartts work pants in his closet from the mid 1940s. He was still wearing them in the years before he died. Say what you want, they were incredibly well-made.

I love Carhartts, they're totally sexy.
