Useless Information

Did you know:

In the olden days, ‘sharp shooting’ was quite the event to go and see. Companies such as Smith & Wesson would send their sharp shooters all over the country to advertise their products. These events would out bring around 200 people to a show.

Soon the companies realized they could save a ton of money by advertising in newspapers verses sending their sharp shooters all over the country. A show had 200 people where the newspapers were seen by over a 100,000.
