This poster shows America’s readiness for WWI in 1914. The New York Guard was looking to recruit people to learn skills for a mishap in the near future (cue WWI). It shows the ‘old guard’ with his sword learning ‘Modern’ skills, listed out below the circle image. The 6 points below ‘Learn to Ride’ are as follows:
Learn to Handle a military motorcycle
Learn to operate a Machine Gun
Learn to drive armored Motor Cars
Learn infantry drills
Become a Crack shot with Rifle and Revolver
Learn Boxing under Prof. Mike Donovan
This was offered as an educational program that wouldn’t ‘interfere with your business’.
