or a patent wouldn't have been

Time was-from a patent examiners
point of view-when the inventive
genius of the entire United States
appeared to be centered on the shirt
tail.
In the early 1920s the authorities
predicted the end of the shirt tail
when inventors turned out:
l. A shirt that buttoned to the
trousers top and thereby held up the
pants, eliminating belts, suspenders
and the shirt tail.
2. An elongated garter that fas-
tened high on the shirt, stretched
down the trouser legs and anchored
on the socks, making the shirt tail a
useless appendage.
3. A shirt that turned into under
wear when It disappeared below the

Dor asked the National Labor Rela-
