“Ladies, don’t argue with a burglar. Show him a revolver.” - Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works, 1901

I greatly enjoy how calm the illustration depicts the engagement.
“I say, it seems I’ve selected a poor choice in domociles to pilfer.”
“It would seem that way, sir. Now if you’ll kindly take notice to this firearm I have pointed at your face, I hope it will provide for you a sense of the urgency at which I would like you to vacate this premises.”
“With haste, madam, and I do hope I have not been a terrible inconvenience.”
The best part is them warning ladies not to argue with burglars like that was a common problem.
