Stockings for the Noble

Are you a good man? Are you true? Then "Onyx" Hosiery is for you!

This Onyx Hosiery ad was printed in in a 1910 issue of The Clothier and Furnisher. I love the delicate little illustrations of clocked stockings in opera pumps, and Lord and Taylor's bold claim, that they can offer "all shades, to match any color scheme desired." I wonder if they had their own dye house?

Sock Buddies

I think this little illustration has a really elegant yet charming simplicity to it. Just a couple of pals, having a cozy chat in their Wayne knit socks. This ad is from the 1909 Clothier and Furnisher.
