April 9, 1921. Meetings

The President and First Lady (and indeed the VP and his wife) had a busy day of meetings on this Saturday, April 9, 1921.

They met with the Salvation Army, which only lately had played a major support role for Allied troops during the Great War.

And they also met with the Mexican Chamber of Commerce, something that was done, of course, against the background of the still uncertain outcome of the recent Mexican Revolution, and the accompanying uncertainty over how far to the left the new Mexican government would take that nation and its economy.

An advertisement for Oldsmobile trucks appeared in the Country Gentleman.

This is interesting in that it featured a Western sheep rancher in an era in which sheep ranches, which were a major ranching endeavor in the West, still was mostly horse powered in every fashion.  Oldsmobile was suggesting that some of that could be taken over by trucks.
