Story Notes

Illustrated ad for the Daisy Manufacturing Company, Rogers, Arkansas, featuring Daisy Toy six gun rigs models 8042, 7024, and 660. Color ad on back cover. Daisy really pushes its sales marketing in this ad, in ways unseen in other Daisy ads, by including a special targeted blurb (as follows): "KIDS OVER 8 YEARS OLD! Show ad to Mom - ask her to buy you a Daisy Toy - and one for YOUR SMALLER BROTHER and SISTER who can't read yet!"
