1929 Scotch Woolen Mills Spring/Summer Catalog

[Martina]

Hello all!
Recently, I was home in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and stopped at
one of my favorite old stores, the Moultonborough Country Store. While there,
I realized that they had added to their one room attic 'museum', so I decided
to go and take a look.

Upon entering the 'museum' there is a sign that reads, "DO NOT TOUCH
THINGS IN THE MUSEUM!" I went into the room with every intention to follow
the rules... until I saw the oversized 1929 Scotch Woolen Mills catalog,
sitting on a pulpit, open to the most wonderfully done ad for a suit!! I knew I
had to get a photo of this page for the FL! Naturally, after that... I just had
to get one more photo, then another, then another... You get the picture
(pun intended )
So what follows is the 1929 Scotch Woolen Mills Spring/Summer catalog.

I hope you enjoy it. Sorry about the angled pictures but the pulpit was
almost as high as my head and I was, how shall I say... rushed for time?

Ad with box and fabrics

Another Scotch ad

A barrel, presumably for holding Derby hats, with Derby ad

A very small ad, maybe 3x5"

A few pair of women's shoes that were hanging up

This is a cupboard type of cabinet, with the add on the front door

I'm not sure what this one was about.... it is over 5 feet tall though!

One of my favorites: I'm not sure what the implication is though... do good
jeans make better saw-ers or just jealous husbands?

End of Catalog

Ok, that's all....
I'll go there again next year and just ask to take pictures of the book, carefully. I would have done so this year but I had 4 boys in tow and I think it would have only caused the owners to panic
I hope you enjoy the catalog! The artwork around the suits was so incredible and the colors... just spectacularly done!

Brown Derby CEREAL?

Do you know what I just realized?
Take another look at that BROWN DERBY barrel... the ad is for Brown Derby TOASTED CEREAL -The Family Favorite! How do you like that? I didn't realize!! I'm not sure that I would go and purchace some Brown Derby Toasted Cereal though!

So do I! Doesn't matter what's in them, men's or women's clothing will do just fine for me. I especially enjoy the graphics around the clothing!

Fantastic stuff 'tina!

Notice, anybody, that while several of the Scotch Brand suits are shown in three-piece...the prices are all for two-piece. 'Twas no' such a bargain as ye think, laddies.

Blue Jeans was an 1890 melodrama so popular it earned the tag line, "Will Never Wear Out!"

 

[Micawber]

Nice. Many thanks for taking the trouble to capture and then post them up :eusa_clap
