Content: Pink marks on image. Printed on border: "Think of getting into a complete suit of under-clothing at one jump. Then think that without a crease, or a seam or a button to hurt, or a pin to scratch, that you are fitted like a glove, that every movement of the body is conformed to -- that is what the 'Melba' perfect fitting combination suit does for you. All sizes: women's, children's, men's." "Send 2c stamp for booklet, address Querns Bros., Dept. F, Victoria Knitting Mills, Philadelphia, Pa."
