Bulletproof Vest Testing
The Protective Garment Corporation’s faith in their bulletproof vest was evident in their daring move to hold a live demonstration in 1923. The demonstration involved shooting at a salesman wearing the state-of-the-art lightweight police vest, which was a huge risk for both the salesman and the person firing the gun.
However, the bold move paid off, as the vest successfully protected the salesman from the bullets. This demonstration helped establish the credibility and reliability of the Protective Garment Corporation’s product, which would go on to become an essential piece of equipment for law enforcement and military personnel worldwide.
