Menstrual sanitary
aprons, underpants, etc. in

1941 (U.S.A.)
The
Charles William Stores
catalog, 1922, New York City
See washable
pads and ads for them, early
Kotex, "sanitary underpants
& panties" and more belts.
I thank again the generous
contributor from Oregon for
these scans and his research!

Still selling the traveling kit!
Look at
the words Tourist Outfit and
compare the "type" style to
similar words, like Silk Apron
in the ad below it.
The letters are written slightly
differently, revealing that
someone printed these by hand
using a calligraphy pen
rather than being from metal type
like the other text. One of the
lower examples is crooked and
another runs slightly
over an illustration. But they
look good.
