The story's interesting.
1t was just six years ago
that we decided to give Rich
monders a real chance to see
whether they liked "combina-
Itions.'
For, six years ago, all Rich
mond dealers, ourselves in
cluded, had only dabbled, play
ing safe with scanty stocks.
We combed the market;
bought combinations in
such a variety of fabrics and
styles, and in such a range of
sizes, as, we believe, Richmond
had never seen gathered to-
gether.
We took special pains to
teach our statesmen how to fit
Ione-pieee garments - some
thing in which the average
salesman still falls down.
The result left no doubt
Jour sales doubled the first
nonth-we became Richmond Is
headquarters for fine fitting
one-piece underwear.
Of course we still sell great
quantities of two-piece under
wear-caTry all weights the
year round hut s..combina-
ltions" are. our own particular
lpet-and it's small wonder
when you see the hundreds of
new friends they make for us
every year.
