From Inside Detective, September 1944. You really get a feel of the target audience of this magazine by looking at the ads. Lots of ads for booze, career schools, work clothes, and insurance. And stuff like this:

Get the tie, and the book, and learn hypnosis, and you'll be all set!

HELL YES. Not like it'd just push the fat into the legs and chest area, or anything.

And all the cancer. I bet it was radium paint that made it glow.

Pssht. Cancer's in everything, nowadays.

Also, um, Why wouldn't they use a phosphorus base?

Back in the day they didn't realize that radium caused cancer. It was cheap and glowed in the dark, so it was nifty cool.

It was known by this time that phosphorus could cause fossey jaw in people who worked with it. It was considered far more dangerous than radium!

When my dad died in 1998, we found Carhartts work pants in his closet from the mid 1940s. He was still wearing them in the years before he died. Say what you want, they were incredibly well-made.
