Men Should Wear Wedding
Rings as Women Do
The Ring Symbolizes OWNERSHIP. Husband AND
Wife Should Wear 1t or Neither Should Wear It.

In little place in Pennsylvania happy gentleman was
about be married. and he much excited about it.
He ordered and put exhibition in the jewelers. window

times much the ordinary wedding ring.

Those things in which take sentimental pride often

HUSBANDS SHOULD WEAR BIG GOLDEN WEDDING
RINGS JUST THE SAME AS THEIR WIVES DO
Is there any reason why woman should 60 around with
ring her finger saying to all the world Il disposed Of
the slightest interest I'll call the police unless her husband
does the same?
We believe that would be even BETTER men to wear
wedding rings than for women to wear them.
For instance the ring would lot Of explanation when
sensible asked to waste his money in drink gambling
otherwise He would simply lift up his hand with the we'd
ding ring it, look solemn and go his way The others would
hang guilty heads and say to themselves at He
that he has wife and cden at home and he has better

The wedding ring the mans finger would also be

act as red flag and warn her away
The wedding ring also would act as useful reminder and
deterrent for good many inclined to be foolish And the

from asking the rnged to take things to drink other
wise play the fool.
Many msbehaves himself because he thinks it will

of wife and family at home he would be ashamed
anything unworthy of THEM
We only recommend that husbands wedding rings
their wives do BUT ALSO THAT THE HUSBAND s RING
BE FASTENED ON so THAT IT CANNOT COME OFF.
That is the least that wives could reasonably
ask would do great deal Of good absolutely HARM
1t could not be objected to.
We are aware that many husbands wear wedding rings
today But the number should be vastly increased And
advise young bride at the beginning when the hus
