ORIGIN OF ANNIE OAKLEY.

Nowadays you hear a free tickt to
n show spoken of as an Annie Oakley"
1t started up on Broadway. Mas Ken
needy was the first fellow to give 1t a
boost, You remember the cigaret pic
lures when you were a kid? Remember
Old Judge cigarets that had in each
package a photo of q bali player or a
bag punching champ or the skating
champ or the rifle champ?
Well, Annie oakley at that time was
champion rifle shot. When a rifle shot
shattered a shooting gallery they US
ually pulled the paper target back on
a wire to pipe the bull s-eyes and other
bullet holes made by the shooter.
Now a pass to q prize fight or any
other show in New York is usually
punched with a few bulls-eyes to show
that It is a skull or dead head. As it
resembles the old paper target in this
respect, of course it got the name OF
annie Oakley" So now whenever you
in that way YOU naturally ask, Where
did YOU get the Oakleys?' Sabe?
