"Hold Everything" - truly strange 1924 Board Game. Has anyone seen this before?

This was in my grandmother's house in Cincinnati with some other (more common) board games. The only reference I've been able to find to it online is in the American Game Collectors Assoc. 1998 "Game Catalog", which lists it under 1924. It still has the $1.00 price tag on the box.

I haven't read the directions in depth, but it appears that each player has an avatar which is either a 'clothed' or 'unclothed' (losing their clothes when they land on 'scare steps'). I'm guessing it wasn't popular and wasn't produced for long. Possibly because even in 1924, people decided that a game where toddlers were scared out of their clothes wasn't a great idea.

From the mismatch of the (amateurish) cover art and art inside the box, it looks like this started as a game where children had their clothes blown off. So, a bunch of progressively bad decisions went into this game of toddler strip poker.
