Maybe it's the dyslexia in me, but I still read the 'Superba' label as 'Superbra'...lol

And what a name to use for the company!

And what a name to use for the company!

Well, studies show that women buy about 50% of the ties men wear.

There was a company named that, briefly. They went bust.

Because they had a sagging bottom line?

Superbra was the revised name of the old Hong Kong family manufacturer: the Hung Fat Brassiere Company.

^^Love that name, Nor-East!

Nice ties, Feraud!

Non-crush, my ass. Priestley's Nor-East crushes worse than any non-crush fabric i've come across. Way worse than Palm Beach ties.

I was thinking the same thing. When you untie the tie, the knotted area looks like it needs a good pressing. lol lol lol
What do you expect for a buck in 1939?:

Your one dollar tie from back then was cheap. Your five dollar tie was pretty good and over five bucks for a tie was a well constructed tie that wouldn't crush.

I just got in the 20th Century Neckties Pre-1955 book by Roseann Ettinger. It has plenty of photos with some pretty old prices for the ties pictured. I would likely buy a few of them for what she prices them.
Perhaps a lot has changed since 1998.
I highly recommend it just for the pictures so you can get an idea of what the ties look like from the eras listed.

I wouldn't handle my non-crush ties as depicted in the ad. lol
