Somewhere I read that women buy a large % of men's underwear and other clothes. This must have been true back in the 1900's. These ads are from literary magazine, filled with short stories. I would guess it had a mixed audience, but I bet it had more women readers. The ad on the left is for a fountain pen, that took water and made ink. It was called a fountain pencil. You put in a cartridge and added water. Never needs sharpening.
The union suit was made to your measurements and could be made for men and women. I am sure the weights he is holding were extra.
The suspenders were made by the Common Sense Suspender Company. What an original name.
Try that name today. Common Sense Discount Store. Common Sense Hamburger Joint. Common Sense Breweries.
