"He Taught His Baby Vile Oaths"

This stacked headline from the #AlbanyNY newspaper sometime in the 1930s caught my eye. Reading the story, no question the vile oaths were the least of it.

Not all of you can be a #GirlBoss. Some of you have to be a Girl Elevator Operator.

I grew up in the '60s and '70s; the idea of advertising jobs by sex is, unfortunately, not foreign to me. But I've been mystified by this one in a couple of directions. First, impressed they thought a female was qualified to operate an elevator. Second, confused why they would specifically be looking for one (this was not a single-sex hotel).
