Safe Return Doubtful
In addition to getting excited about N.C. Wyeth and Marx Playsets, I also like to read about crazy British guys exploring the North and South poles. For lack of anything to do right now, here's an ad Ernest Shackleton ran in 1913 to recruit people for his trans-Antarctic expedition. This ad brought over 1000 responses:
"Men wanted for Hazardous Journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
