Trigger Alert: Don't look at this advertisement from a 1954 issue of Radio & Television News magazine if you are easily offended by what used to be an effective marketing technique, but is now considered too exploitative for use. The "Cancel Culture" mindset of today's easily offended (often agenda-driven) citizenry would likely work to have Walter Ashe driven out of business for such an ad. If you dare to peek at the advertisement - and I'm not recommending that you should if it might jeopardize your place in society, be sure to note the fire hydrant.
