Robert Montgomery Models Swimsuit. Ah, the Price of Stardom!

 I almost missed this ad in the June, 1931 issue of Photoplay Magazine.  Or should I more correctly say I almost missed Bob in this ad.  I had never thought of Bob in a swimsuit ad.  I can only imagine his reaction on finding out his assignment.  Glad he relented.

I think that company is still in business, at least according to Wikipedia.

And I agree, I cannot imagine Bob or Joan necessarily being happy to do ads like that.

I just checked their online catalog. Unfortunately, they no longer make swimwear for Men. I'm sure there are a number of paunchy men who would feel more comfortable with a top in public!
