An early Spring portrait
of the WILLIAM BLAKES
MILLY’S HUSBAND said he’d throttle her
if she ever tried to buy him another shirt
or tie. But Milly was a woman, and last
Tuesday evening when Blake arrived home
with a package under his arm, Milly had
a tidy, little package for him, too.
“MY SHIRT,” he continued, “has a brand-
new pattern ... a combination of single and
double stripes. It has the new coft shade of
gray. It has an Arrow collar. It has an Arrow
tie and handkerchief, please note, made
especially to go with it. And...”
MILLY GIGGLED, “William, especially for
Spring, I bought you the latest thing in
shirts. I know it is the latest, because the
clerk said it was.” William said, “That, my
dear Milly, is not even remotely possible. I
just bought the latest in shirts.”
“AND,” INTERRUPTED MILLY, “It is
called ARROW AROLYYN. It is the same
shirt, darling, I bought, only I picked blue,
you picked gray.” “By gaily, you’re right,”
cried William. “Before I throttle you, suppose
I take you to the movies.”
COME IN TODAY to Arrow headquarters, and see this handsome new
shirt.. Arrow Arolyn. It comes in several handsome colors and costs just $2.
Ties are $1 ■ handkerchiefs, 35c; and Arrow’s seamless-crotch shorts to
complete the outfit, 65c.
