These ads are great for reference or to reflect on advertising of the past. Most fashion illustrations after the early 50's, I could not care less about. I love the summer catalogs.
So cool to see how much was on offer back then. Great posts!
This very ad is posted earlier in the thread (page 6) along with many others....Lot's of celebrities and others......Is this supposed to be modeled after Dana Andrews? I know of the Bing Crosby Stetson ad.
EDIT: Welp, couldn't make out the print until now. It is Andrews. What other celebs got featured in these old Stetson ads?
I apologize. I just came across the Andrews ad here and your warning of keeping it hard-copy only. Keep showing us these originals!This very ad is posted earlier in the thread (page 6) along with many others....Lot's of celebrities and others......
Best,

Ps we are limiting the posts of this thread to items we actually own rather than "internet finds" or Ebay listings.......
Cool Mark! The Whippet has a Bob like upturn to a rather narrow brim. Interesting. Can't wait.This is a teaser for some Stetson sales sheets from 1924.
A "Whippet" earliest advertisement I have seen........

NEW Information on the dating....Just saw a couple of the postcards from this very set....they were used so included a postmark...1914. So they date 1914 or earlier.......circa 1917? Complete set of "Views in the plant of John B Stetson".
Each has a descriptive of the scene presented on the back.
