"National Retail Clothier" Magazine, Feb. 21, 1929

[thunderw21]

Before Apparel Arts there was "National Retail Clothier" magazine. Like Apparel Arts, NRC was sent out to retailers to help educate them about the latest fashions, display techniques, business models and fads according to region.
I was lucky enough to pick up a copy today.

There is way too much info to post here, so I've picked out some of the best stuff into a short collection for you all to see. If you want to see something more closely, send me a PM.

In this issue there are many articles talking about different display techniques, the onset of Spring, fashionable hat dimensions as well as new styles of straw hats. I posted this in "General Attire & Accouterments" because it covers nearly everything, from hats to suits to suspenders.

Enjoy.
