FuR A LONG TIME we’ve suspected
that today’s college man would
no longer “gladly die for dear
old Siwash.” Neither does he play
ukuleles and sing “Alma Mater’’
at the drop of a beanie.
We believe, too, that when it
comes to sportshirts the college
man is no different from his older
brother in town. He doesn t go for
fads and screwball styles. But he
does go for smartness, good work
manship ... and above all, value.
That is why we believe you'll like
the new selection of sportshirts by
Man hattan «. For they have all these
qualities, plus a distinctive air that
sets them above the ordinary shirt.
So ask for Manhattan ... the
college man's sportshirt.

Underwear, pajamas,
sportshirts,
