The genuine
JOCKEY SHORT
and SHIRT
INTRODUCED but a few months ago by Coopers these remarkable garments have already found a permanent place in the wardrobe of thousands.
JOCKEY SHORTS have style; they are easy to wear; they' provide comfort plus a physical value never before found in undergarments.
TO THE new wearer of Jockey Shorts an unusual feeling of buoyancy is quite noticeable. This is nature's way of approving the scientific designing of Jockey Shorts. It suggests, also, that a continued wearing of Jockey will conserve energy.
BUTTONLESS and without needless openings to gap and sag, Jockey moves with every muscle; no bind, no bulking fore or aft. The fabric allows the skin to breathe. Body moisture dries more quickly. Jockey casts no embar- rassing shadow through Palm Beach or flannel trousers.
