And you thought ad agencies were only just now starting to get creative with their ads on buses, subways, airplane trays and urinals. Nope, looks like one Samuel Hunter came up with some much more brilliant oh about 100 years earlier.
Of course, advertising on scarecrows. Billboards? Nah, scarecrows are so well placed in fields of corn throughout the midwest with such a captive audience, what a brilliant idea.
Even comes equipped with a hat and a little hand arrow deal-e-o.
Check this one out in the picture or for yourself. One Samuel Hunter of Onondaga New York would be happy. Patent number 1142326.
