Always Put 20 the Best
Of Uses.

Hip pockets in mems trousers
vUe first devised by some southern
taller shortly before the civil war.
TAe fist hip pocket was made about
the proper size to carry a half pint
Aask Of liquor, and that was the pur-
pose for which it was intended by its
inventor. Later, they were made in
pant and quart sizes, and were worn
on both the nigh and off sides, and
the pockets thus located sprang int
instant favor. You may not have
found much use for the hip pockets
in your trousers. That is an indica-
ton that you are a respectable man.
FOR the reputation of the hip pocket
is clouded Besides being a receptacle
for various brands of liquor, it has
also been noted as the abiding place
Of concealed pistols, knucks, slung-
shets and other deadly weapons 1t
is where the gambler carries his
cards, and the bad boy hides the
"makings." II you have found no
othe< use for hip pockets than a
convenient place for handkerchiefs,
you are more innocent than NEST
hip pockets.
