Undated, but likely 1930's. Cover art by Lvowic Hohlwein.

This particular pair of dandy outfits comes to us courtesy of the Denver Dry Goods company catalog from Fall and Winder 1948-49.

Vintage catalog of automotive seals and bearings, all advertised to help your car run better and improve fuel economy (which in turn, is of course good for the war effort). I rather like the artwork, not to mention his sparkling clean appearance, from his coveralls to his tie!
