129 Ways to Find a Husband

So I was reading this article under George Takei’s profile, 129 Ways for a Woman to Get a Man from magazine in 1958.
Me: This thing says to read the obituaries to locate eligible widowers.
Austin snickers.
Me: They’re obsessed with widowers. This one says, “Go to all high school and college reunions. You never know where you might find a widower.”
A few minutes later.
Me: I don’t even get this one. “Carry a hatbox.”
Austin: That’s hot. I love me a woman carrying a hatbox.[pause] Mmmm, yeah, a hatbox. Women with hatboxes are sexy. Turns me on just thinking about what's in that hatbox.
Me: “Rent a billboard and put your name and phone number on it.”
Austin: What! That’s crazy. Yes, single women living alone, get a billboard and advertise.
Me: This one says, “Stand on a street corner with a lasso.”
Austin: What?
Me: That’s what it says.
Austin: Oh no, Rachel. What will I do? What if I get caught up in a lasso and another woman drags me away?
