This was part of a whole series of ads the company released during the late 1940s and 1950s showcasing their female factory workers.

For those unaware, in the 19th Century Wyoming was considered to possibly be the most progressive territory and then state in America for women, ladies were given the right to vote as early as 1869 and expanded property rights among other provisions around the same time.

While a bit blunt in tone, this probably gave a number of women another chance at a good career especially if they became "disqualified" under the dumb rules that airlines put on their employees in that era.

We can only imagine the devastating weight he felt on his shoulders, and the heartache that only seemed to worsen with each passing month (as the Civil War battles just got more violent and bloody, and the tragedies for both him and the nation just seemed to pile up higher). This powerful conversation that Dr. Gurley mentioned appears to have happened soon after Lincoln visited the Gettysburg battlefield and gave his now legendary address in November of that year.

Sources, for those who wish to read more on this, and the remarkable relationship between these two men (the Wikipedia pages have some excellent citations to academic and cultural sources, for those really into doing research, some listed are about 100 years old or possibly older):

This station is apparently defunct, since the name is now used by a station broadcasting from Minnesota and Iowa.

The New Jersey's 1951 incident here, which tragically killed Seaman Robert Oesterwind, was the only time one of her crewmen was ever lost to enemy action in all her decades of service.

Much better gifts than the tobacco stuff often promoted for the occasion back in the day.

The Wild West meets James Bond?

Although he was the first full-blooded one to step on the big league diamond, it's important to mention he was not the first with significant Native American ancestry to do so. Chippewa descendant Charles "Chief" Bender famously played in three World Series as a member of the Philadelphia Athletics during the 1910s (even pitching three full games during the 1911 edition). Nonetheless, men like Bender and Yellowhorse were a rarity in the days before MLB's post-World War II integration.

That phone was likely the first most folks in the region had ever owned.

Safe to say he was NOT a good boy, at least in the later years of his career (and controversial always).

Unlike many other large eastern Native American tribes that were relocated to places like Oklahoma in the 19th Century, this particular band of Seminoles had moved deep into the Everglades and lived there quietly for decades until reaching a settlement with the federal and Florida state governments to receive thousands of acres in reservation territory beginning in the 1930s.
