The OTHER Ways, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era from other than Stetson

[M Hatman]

Ok, while going through my Stetson stuff for "The Stetson Way" tread (found here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/thre...rtising-and-ephemera-of-the-golden-era.92141/) a thread on Stetson ephemera from roughly 1920 to 1960, I realized I had enough from many other companies from the same era. So......here are examples of ads and interesting things from the "Other" Hat companies and organizations from again, roughly 1920 to 1960. Lets start with some matchbooks.....
AND of course, feel free to add (no pun intended) some goodies You have collected.....

While NOT technically HAT ads.....they are really cool.....and I would guess inspired many to get the hat pictured to go with their cigs..........,.,
The first with the Optimo Straw is 1938, the second with the "Whippet" style hat is 1949.
