The Silk Shirt Idea and
Wunamaker Washable Silks

We have very frequently been asked, Why do you make such
a feature of wash silks? We do so because it is a service that
is expected of us above any other house in America.
About fifteen years ago our representative, at a cricket
match outside of London, saw men wearing silk shirts and women
wearing washable silk skirts and waists.
We hunted for that silk and found it in a shop down in
Cheapside and bought a quantity of it.
Two years later, in Vienna, We found the silk material that
was used for powder bags by the Austrian artillery.
We brought both materials to America, submitted them to
Americas best silk manufacturers and the development was the
manufacture in this country of washable silks suitable for
WOLien's waists Innings of all kinds
WOnens dresses WindOD curtains
Sports Dear Wall coverings
Pettic0ats Mems office and sports coats
UnderUear Mems silk shirts
All these years we have held the leadership in washable
silks in America.
We can show you the largest and best assortment of these
silks to be found.
