Armour in Need of a Wardrobe in Chicago Aug 16
J. Ogden Armour, head of Armour and Co, writes from Chicago about conserving clothing costs. He says two suits a year, one overcoat lasting two years, plus modest items, would cover his annual wardrobe. He shares a humorous ink revival recipe for derbies and comments on shoes donated by the Builders and Traders’ Exchange along with a plea for a full year’s wardrobe rather than just a gift of shoes. He lists exact price proposals and notes utilitarian needs over decoration.
