Yes more from Milwaukee--the Superbowl is near and it is Wisconsin.

I'm very surprised to see a midwest paper running a special section like this in 1941.
I wonder how long they'd done it - surely not too far back into the '30s.

It's funny to think, my family is from M'waukee for generations. This was my grandpa's favorite era. He probably read this paper, back in the good ol' days when the Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel were separate newspapers. He still talks about this era all the time. Such great fashions.

Very interesting "Norwegian mocassins". Must mean weejun loafers. This can serve as a bench mark of sorts to indicate when they started becoming popular.Yes more from Milwaukee--the Superbowl is near and it is Wisconsin.
"Weejuns" started out as Norwegian fishermen's shoes.

Look like white bucks to me. Maybe with moc toe styling.
Weejuns appeared in the states in 1936. They were strictly upper-class resort wear till after the war.
