T-Straps for the Roxford Boy

I found another marvelous illustration from a Roxford long underwear ad in a 1908 issue of The Clothier and Furnisher. The gentleman in the illustration appears to be enjoying a peaceful moment with his paper, but his secure grip on his chair-seat makes me wonder what sort of sensational news story (or serial) he might be reading. Speaking of sensational, check out the amazing pair of T-strap sandals he's wearing!
