Fashion Friday
It’s time for Fashion! As we enter fall, why not share some fashions to help you pick out a new style? These fashion ads and etc. are from various issues of The American Hebrew and Jewish Tribune dating from March-August 1932. The American Hebrew began publication in 1879 and underwent several mergers and name changes over the years, now publishing under the title Washington Jewish Week. It was only published under the title The American Hebrew and Jewish Tribune from 1932-1935.
Many of the ads feature ladies in stylish-looking trench coats and double-breasted dresses, while the single men’s ad advertises golf clothes (men be golfin’, am I right?). You could even knit your own sweaters, if you were so inclined! There’s also a fashionably-dressed lady advertising “O.G.” cigarettes and an ad for a fashionable car: the Lincoln V-12 Cylinder, made in Detroit, which cost $4700 at the time.
I hope these fashions inspire you to attain new heights of stylish dress this fall! While they are allegedly fashions for the summer months, the trenches seem very fitting for blustery fall days to me!
