Ad wording:

"Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn't have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks. Such as our new automatic wash wear blend of 65% Dacron® and 35% rayon incomparably wrinkle-resistant. About $12.95 at plush-carpeted stores."

 

Yes, the metaphors for whatever they tried to portrait are just completely messed up. At least we now do see the issue with that, so at least we've moved on (a bit) in the last 40 odd years....
