Alibi Magazine, March 1959

 Alibi, the magazine of escapades for men. 

"Why I tell my wife that 'Honey, its clean-cut good natured wholesome articles help me be a better man for other men.  She and the girls deserve their nights out, so why shouldn't I settle in for a good night of reading after putting Butch and Mary to bed.  Afterward, I like have to watch "Make Room for Daddy." ~ Dick LeBruce, Florence South Carolina.

"My favorite section is the seek and find challenges in different cities.  They tell you what, or who, you should look for, and when you the place, or the person, why it's a notch in my belt! And what man doesn't like to hunt for fun?" ~ Carstairs McFetters, Boston.

"You know, sometimes I travel, and Alibi Magazine has the best list of friendly motels at reasonable rates.  I don't need much, just a bed, a towel, maybe a shower, or a steam. And if you are lucky you make new friends. Alibi knows all the right places to look." ~Gaetano Vespuchi, Bensonhurst.

ALIBI, June 1956

ALIBI, The Magazine About the Escapades of Men was a well know periodical of the 1940s and 1950s, and provided a road-map for those who wanted to listen to that little voice inside of them and try things that they may not have considered before.  Men, and the men who enjoyed the company of other men, found that ALIBI had its own special code - like reading between the lines, if you know what we mean.  As popular in San Francisco as it was in Greenwich Village as it was in sassy New Orleans or morally righteous Oklahoma, ALIBI's core audience was broad and the magazine enjoyed great sales until an ALIBI sponsored party a New York City bar got out of control one night, and the purpose of the magazine was snuffed out in one paltry riot for equality.
