NO BACK STUD-Saves time and temper The "SHEPHERD'Shirt

The whole point of the "no back stud idea is its utter simplicity. You simply whip the Shepherd Collar on, fasten the front stud, and that's all! Nothing to fix or arrange. The collar can never ride up- it is held firmly to the neckband all the way round; The Shep- herd Shirt is actually as com- fortable as a tennis shirt, yet as smart as the smartest shirt you have ever seen,
