In my travels, I came across this old advertisement and found it kind of interesting. It evidently was trying to appeal to preparedness-minded individuals of the time ("in case of national emergency"). Though an 8-shot, .22LR carbine may not be the first pick if Soviet paratroopers are raining down on your home town. I wonder what an "over-and-under magazine" is, though I suspect it is box magazines clipped together "jungle style". Regardless, the over-the-top wording in the ad is amusing in and of itself.
Anyway, I just thought I'd pass it along in case others find it neat-o.

Another ad with a better picture of the carbine:
Cheers.
