Dacriminating people everywhere bare been educated to know that underwear is the article of apparel that really requires the greatest care in ita selection. The ideal underwear for hot weather must be light in weight, durable, absorbing and elastic. For thear reasons the porous principle in underwear is the solution of the bat-weather problem. The pores in the fabris are in reality itcla cella that permit the air te circulate between the outer "clothing and the skin. These httle chambers, allow the hat from the body to evaporats before it has a chance to condome and form perspiration, thus keeping the body dry and cool-
Underwear however, must be more than porcus to be comfort. able; it must be elastir. Elasticity is of prime importance na it allows the garment to give full play to the movements of the body and prevents it from ebafing, and binding. Keepkool anderwear is the only brand that fulfil all of these necessary conditions. It is porous for coolness, elastic for comfort, lock stitched for durability, and absorbent for health. No other brand selling at popular prices contains all of these pecessary features. "
