MUNSING-WEAR
and You'll Be Comfortable This Winter
Many folks seem to have the idea that
Munsingwear is high priced.
.The fine quality and careful workman
ship in Munsingwear undoubtedly give that
impression.
When they find out the price of the par
ticular Munsingwear style and fabric that
they like best, they are usually surprised
and delighted.
They are delighted again when they put
on their Munsingwear it fits so perfectly,
feels so comfortable.
Again they are surprised when the Mun
singwear comes back from the wash as
perfect-fitting as ever.
The climax to their Munsingwear experi
ence comes when they discover how long
it wears.
For any man, woman or child tall, thin,
short or stout there's a perfect-fitting
Munsingwear garment in any style, fabric
or weight desired.
These Munsingwear features explain
why there are now 10,000,000 Munsing
wear garments sold annually.
