'Keepkool" Underwear

FOR MEN.

THE NEW IDEA IN SUMMER UNDERWEAR

"The Only Elastic. Ribbed Porous Underwear."

WITH

WITH the advance of civilizatios the question of dress ever becomes 'a' matter of greater importance. Partiqularly in tropical climates any article ei dress that tends to mitigate the anffering sansed by extreme beat is sure to fad a cordial reseption.

Discriminating people everywers hars been educated, to know that underwear is the articls of apparel that really requires the greatest care in its salection. The ideal underwear for bot weather must be light in weight, dumble, absorbent and elastic. For these ressons the porous principle in underwear is the salation of the hot-weather problem. The pares in the fabric are in reality little cells that permit the air to circulate between the outer clothing and the skin. These little shambers allow the heat from the body to evaporate before it has a chance to condenag sad form pempiration, thus keeping the body dry and, cool.

Underwear however, must be more than ́ porous to be enmfort- able; it must be elastic. Elasticity is of prime importaned, as it allows the garment to give all play to the movements of the body sad prevents it from cbafioz and binding. Krepkool underwear is ite only brand that fulfil all of these necessary conditione 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 necessary features.
