REG. U-S. PAT. OFF. YOUR MONEY BACK — K If, for any reason, you are not pleased with this Buck Skein Jacket, I guarantee to give you your money back — as I have guaranteed millions of other Buck Skein wearers. IET'S suppose you were to "bring 'em back alive" with Frank -f Buck on one of his expeditions in Africa or Asia. The rainy season is on and it is coming down like a mountain torrent. Yet you are dry. You are bone dry, because your Buck Skein Jacket has been made 100% waterproof by my exclusive Dupont process. Laboratory tests, with water pressure equal to that of a fire-hose, prove that not one drop of water can seep through the fabric. Even the seams are sealed up tight against the tiniest leak (patented). Or let us imagine your urge for adventure has landed you in the frozen Antarctic with Admiral Byrd. Even in the teeth of those South Polar gales you are warm. You are warm because the Buck Skein you are wearing is insulated against the cold. In fact the jacket is so warm, that any undue perspiration is either carried off by a hidden ventilated slit in the pocket, or absorbed by the warm fleece inner lining. And note these protective features: adjustable wrist straps; two big fisted reinforced pockets; large storm collar; heaviest Talon Slide made. Washes beautifully. Colors: "Honey" Brown and "Arctic" Blue (Navy). Of course the millions of men who have worn Buck Skeins can only dream (even as you and I) of hunting the rhinoceros or shooting the killer whale. But it is no dream to know that whether Buck Skein is worn by Frank Buck or Admiral Byrd, or whether you wear it for sport, for work, or for general use, Buck Skein will keep you dry, will keep you warm and comfortable. You can see from the actual photograph that Buck Skein is a handsome jacket. It is as good as it looks. And it wears like the hide of one of Frank Buck's ele- phants. Yet in spite of its hidden toughness, Buck Skein is soft, pliable and light in weight. A big he-man's jacket and a whale of a value! GO TO YOUR DEALER NOW! However, if he is all sold out, then mail me the coupon, enclose your check or money order, and I'll see that you get your Buck Skeins pronto, and prepay all carrying charges myself. Style "B" Heavy PURE WOOL (13 oz.) genuine Buffalo checks. A big, roomy and rugged shirt with extra long square shirt tails to keep you warm. Talon Fastener. Two colors: Red and Black checks Blue and Black checks, $5. Style "C" New! Worn by those daring cowboys of the Pampas . the Gauchos! 100% WOOL, warm yet medium weight. Extremely low wide sport collar with corded loops {instead of buttonholes) and four big ocean pearl buttons. For complete freedom, a pleat runs down the back. Cut extra full.

  • 7. German Preparation for Aggression PREPARATION FOR
    THE ORGANISATION OF COLLECTIVE SELF-DEFENCE 23 7. German preparation for aggression PREPARATION FOR AGGRESSION: 1933-1936 (...) Renunciation of Armament Provisions of Versailles Treaty. 21 May 1935 was a very important date in the Nazi calendar. It was on that date that the Nazis passed the secret Reich Defense Law (2261-PS). The secrecy of their armament operations had already reached the point beyond which they could no longer maintain successful camouflage. Since their program called for still further expansion, they unilaterally renounced the armament provisions of the Versailles Treaty on the same date, 21 May 1935. Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag on that day (2288-PS) was published in “Voelkischer Beobachter” under the heading “The Fuehrer Notifies the World of the Way to Real Peace.” Hitler declared: “1. The German Reich Government refuses to adhere to the Geneva Resolution of 17 May. The Treaty of Versailles was not broken by Germany unilaterally, but the well-known paragraphs of the dictate of Versailles were violated, and consequently invalidated, by those powers who could not make up their minds to follow t he disarmament requested of Germany with their own disarmament as agreed upon by Treaty. 2. Because the other powers did not live up to their obligations under the disarmament program, the Government of the German Reich no longer considers itself bound to those articles, which are nothing but a discrimination against the German nation for an unlimited period of time, since, through them, Germany is being nailed down in a unilateral manner contrary to the spirit of the agreement.” (...) At this point, on 14 October 1933, Germany withdrew from the International Disarmament Conference and from the League of Nations.

  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Bl-Monthly by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bl-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XIII Denver, Colorado, May, 1936 No. 3 History of the Tabor Opera House at Leadville DOROTHY M. DEGITZ* It was the evening of November 20, 1879. Crowds which all day had formed in groups along Harrison A venue to discuss the two vigilante hangings of the morning,1 now turned to lighter amuse­ ment and hurried toward the most talked-of building in Leadville, the new Tabor Opera House. :B'or weeks the newspapers had been full of the wonders of this ''largest opera house west of the Mississippi,'' the second real opera house in Colorado, the Central City Opera House having been opened in 1878. The crowds gathered by carriage and on foot. The latest fash­ ions in leg-o'-mutton sleeves rubbed agaim;;t the roughest of mining togs ai;; the throng pushed down the main thoroughfare of the boom town, itself less than two years old, although it had now a popula­ tion of some 15,000. The 800 people who were fortunate enough to command tickets for the opening performance shoved through the crowd of curious and opened the swinging doors to find themselves in a hall' 'broad enough to admit a regiment.' ' 2 Passing up a flight of stairs they came into the largest amusement hall in Leadville, and "the only one where decent people would not be afraid to go.'' Excited ushers soon led the first nighters of the parquet and clress circles to their ~eats, "Anderson's patent opera chairs elegantly upholstered in plush, the same as those used in Wallack 's, Daly's, and the Mad­ ison Square of New York.'' ~ Once seated, the crowds looked curiously around at the car­ peted aisles, frescoed ceilings and the stage curtain, a view of the Royal Gorge which nudging neighbors whispered had cost $1,000.

  • Jarrow March
    80th Anniversary of the Jarrow March 5-31 October 1936 The March After suffering years of high unemployment and deprived social conditions, it was decided by the Jarrow Borough Council on 20 July 1936 to present a petition to Parliament asking for the re-establishment of industry in the town. To deliver it, a deputation of 200 men from Jarrow would march 300 miles to London, raising awareness of the town’s situation. The march was referred to as a “crusade”, partly to emphasise the seriousness of the situation and partly to distinguish themselves from the “hunger marches” carried out by the National Unemployed Worker’s Movement during the 1920s and 30s. The NUWM had Communist connections, and the Jarrow crusade was firmly non-partisan. The march attracted broad local support, including that of the local political parties (Labour, Conservative and Liberal), and the marchers included Labour, Liberal, Conservative and Communist supporters. The town could not spend taxpayers’ money on the demonstration, but about 200,000 letters were sent to other corporations, trade unions and cooperative societies, raising money for a march fund. The initial target was £800; by 13 October the fund contained £850, and ultimately nearly double the target amount was raised. The marchers left Jarrow on 5 October 1936. They carried blue and white banners and the petition, bearing 11,000 signatures, bound in blue hand- tooled leather and kept in an oak box with gold lettering. Only men were appointed to march, having first been medically checked by the Local Medical Officer; however, they were accompanied for much of the journey by the MP for Jarrow, Ellen Wilkinson.

  • Stagflation in the 1930S: Why Did the French New Deal Fail?
    Stagflation in the 1930s: Why did the French New Deal Fail? Jeremie Cohen-Setton, Joshua K. Hausman, and Johannes F. Wieland∗ August 15, 2014 VERSION 1.0. VERY PRELIMINARY. DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION. The latest version is available here. Abstract Most countries started to recover from the Great Depression when they left the Gold Stan- dard. France did not. In 1936, France both left the Gold Standard and enacted New- Deal-style policies, in particular wage increases and a 40-hour week law. The result was stagflation; prices rose rapidly from 1936 to 1938 while output stagnated. Using panel data on sectoral output, we show that the 40-hour week restriction had strong negative effects on production. Absent this law, France would likely have followed the usual pattern of rapid recovery after leaving the Gold Standard. We construct a model to show how supply-side policies could have prevented output growth despite excess capacity and a large real interest rate decline. ∗Cohen-Setton: University of California, Berkeley. 530 Evans Hall #3880, Berkeley, CA 94720.

  • The Labour Party and the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939
    1 Britain and the Basque Campaign of 1937: The Government, the Royal Navy, the Labour Party and the Press. To a large extent, the reaction of foreign powers dictated both the course and the outcome of the Civil War. The policies of four of the five major protagonists, Britain, France, Germany and Italy were substantially influenced by hostility to the fifth, the Soviet Union. Suspicion of the Soviet Union had been a major determinant of the international diplomacy of the Western powers since the revolution of October 1917. The Spanish conflict was the most recent battle in a European civil war. The early tolerance shown to both Hitler and Mussolini in the international arena was a tacit sign of approval of their policies towards the left in general and towards communism in particular. During the Spanish Civil War, it became apparent that this British and French complaisance regarding Italian and German social policies was accompanied by myopia regarding Fascist and Nazi determination to alter the international balance of power. Yet even when such ambitions could no longer be ignored, the residual sympathy for fascism of British policy-makers ensured that their first response would be simply to try to divert such ambitions in an anti-communist, and therefore Eastwards, direction.1 Within that broad aim, the Conservative government adopted a general policy of appeasement with the primary objective of reaching a rapprochement with Fascist Italy to divert Mussolini from aligning with a potentially hostile Nazi Germany and Japan. Given the scale of British imperial commitments, both financial and military, there would be no possibility of confronting all three at the same time.
