In 1967, when this National
Radio Institute (NRI) advertisement appeared in Radio-Electronics magazine,
allowing tattoos to be visible on people representing a company's interest was almost
never done. Harley Davidson might have allowed it, or maybe Old Spice after shave
lotion, but certainly not typical from an educational establishment pitching electronics
instruction. The dude in this ad has a clearly, intentionally visible "tat" on his
right arm. It is no accident because the shirt sleeves are rolled up when they don't
need to be, and the right sleeve is up twice as far as the left sleeve. The photographers
wanted readers to see it. My interpretation of it is "D. S.," and then some illegible
character at the end (maybe "jr"?). Any guesses as to what it might be?
