Why does Al have an iPhone back in the '40s!?! [huh]

That is why he is going UP in the World! He's way out in front of everybody!!!

Forgive me if I missed this, but thought I'd point out that this ad is from Life Magazine, August 16, 1937 - first mention of the Open Road in a print ad?

I think so. There's a discussion somewhere in the OR Guild thread about those wide ribboned ORs that includes the ad.

Yup...

The original Stetson Open Road dates to at least 1937. The OR is the middle hat in this 1937 ad:

Sure looks a whole lot like Douglas' early OR:

Incidentally, the ad above also shows that the Whippet (on the left) has been around since 1937, as well.

What's the first ad with the Thin Ribbon?

1948. You guys have some catchin' up to do in the OR Guild thread!

Why go to the Guild when we've got the Lid on the line?
Thanks Chief

I'm not a thin-ribbon guy, but I have read every single post in that thread - just don't have such a great memory.

I can guarantee you I will continue to forget what I've read, so I just apologize in advance

In terms of nostalgic vibe, this is one of my favorite Stetson ads, from 1940:
