>n so revolutionized the clothes of outdoorsmen as
styles of toggery, Shorts fit right in with the American
spirit of freedom ... in action, in dress.
That's why wherever you may wander , , . from sea to shining sea . , , the trend
you see in the garb of men is invariably to Shorts* Like Scouters and other
outdoorsmen, everyone realizes this fact: for free and easy movement one
avoids the "knee-strangulation" of trousers and switches to the coolness and
comfort that only Shorts provide.
Seasoned outdoorsmen—Scouters, big game hunters, explorers and archaeolo-
gists—have pioneered with Shorts for years. Today, Scouters stand for Shorts
more unshakably than ever. Here are the facts: out of nine hundred Scout
Executives gathered at Bretton Woods for the recently held National Training
Conference, almost every man wore Shorts.
When next you purchase your new Uniform, make sure you're modern. Buy
Shorts. Mark yourself a Leader of Men.
