HOOKLESS FASTENER COMPANY, MEADVILLE, PA. • NEW YORK • BOSTON • PHILADELPHIA • CHICAGO • LOS ANGELES • SAN FRANCISCO • SEATTLE SLIDE FASTENER FOR TROUSERS NEWEST TAILORING IDEA FOR MEN Why TALON means new distinction in trousers 1. Talon eliminates ugliness of the button fly. Side wrinkles, gaps between buttons, and bulkiness are gone. 2. Talon excludes the possibility of unintentional and embarrassing disarray. 3. Talon creates continuous closure so smooth and thin that only a fine line indicates the opening. 4. Talon Slide Fastener for trousers is a special Talon Fastener made expressly for trouser use. 5. Talon is absolutely invisible when the fly is closed. 6. Talon is so light that it weighs less than but- tons and thread used on old type. 7. Talon is scientifically applied — no metal con- tacts — cannot catch in underclothing. 8. Talon means extra, time-saving convenience. 9. Talon is the only fastener that is not harmed by dry cleaning or pressing. 10. Talon, unlike the old buttons and button- holes, gives perfect, unchanging service far beyond the life of a suit.

Instruments, rather than eyesight, must find the range and determine the direction that the giant projectile is to take. Without precision range finders, hitting the target is all a matter of luck. With them, it is an exact science. What wind allowance is in range finding, shrinkage allowance is in Sanforizing. Both predetermine the mechanical adjustment that is necessary to compensate for nature s errors. Most men know that a fabric that has keen Sanforized is a fabric that won’t shrink. But few of them know why. Ask them and they will probably say that it is because it has been “pre-shrunk.” That isn’t it, at all. Pre- shrinking is just the old trial and error method of attempting, by guess and by gosh, to anticipate the results of the first few trips to the laundry. Sanforizing, on the other hand, is an exact scientific process of predetermining just how much a fabric will shrink, throughout its lifetime, and then shrinking it precisely that much in the process of finishing. Washable garments made from cotton and linen fabrics Sanforized-sbrunk WARNING keep their place and stay "put” in the style, in the fit and in the value as originally inbuilt in them by their makers. Do not be misled into believing tbat Pre-sbrunk is Sanforized-sbrunk. Tbere’s a vast difference.
