In 1948 we are introduced to the New Men's Hat Sensation!! The CHAMP!! At $7.50 it is as good as a hat of $15!!!!!
NOTE the names......"Gaucho", "B-17", and the "Diplomat"....AND with your new hat you get a 1948 Champ Football Book!

I want a B-17. It looks kind of Stratoliner looking at first glance. Keeping with the Boeing theme, same airframe, less passengers.

1953 again......(December of 1952 actually, but then like now, this comes from the "January 1953" issue, which arrives in December).....this time it is Christmas and they reccomend "a Lee under your tree"!!!!!!!
And a bottle of whiskey does not hurt either.......

In May of 1953 we are looking to the heat of the Summer when we will need our Lee straws.....and also some Gin (and tonic, if you are around those peskey mosquitoes)......

Note that if your Lee has a Green Dot, it "was hand-selected for highest quality"

Nice. We've seen some Trinities and a couple of Smartlees around these parts. I have a bunch of those little gift boxes in different brands and motifs, but I've never come across the "Treasure Chest" version with the little drawers.

Now I want one.

It's 1945, coming back from the war and we need to get a "new outfit" which includes a cool hat WITH a feather to go along with our Chesterfield Cigarettes.........
