YOU'LL NEVER SCRATCH IN MUNSINGWEAR Wear Thcm-You Will Like Them UWIsU SUBTS Give Complete Satisfaction Somehow, a few persons are even today prejudiced against union suits. Either they haye worn suits of inferior grade and were disappointed or prefer two-piece garments, not knowing the supreme comfort of a properly made union suit In either case they have not worn MUN SING UNION SUITS. No one should allow himself to be influenced against union suits until he has worn Munsing wear. After that, nothing could induce one to change back to any other make. A Molly Munsing Doll Cutout free with every purchase, while they last, . . . 4 V ... v FoD-Qii Munsing Union Suits are so thoroughly satisfactory because there's no slipping nor sliding to them they always stay in place. They can't ride up , nor slip down. They are shaped so as not to bind anywhere, yet fit perfectly in every part. The web is very elastic and yields freely to any motion. As to washing, a Munsing Fit never washes out. In fact, each tubbing, if properly done, only serves to improve the fit and appearance of the garment. Being carefully knit of soft fine grade yarns, they cannot irritate even a supersensitive skin. You'll never scratch in Munsingwear. MOSGROVE MERCANTILE COMFY. Main and 3rd. Phone, Main 65.
