Put This-Cap On Your Head—
and tcike - yourmind off your Cap!
The "SURE-FIT" cap has an invisible buckle and
strap that enables you to make it as tight or as
loose as you wish.
So, if you've been thumbing your nose at Andy
Volstead the night before, set it loose on your
brow before you stagger across the campus
If, on the other hand, you're off to a crew race—
or a geology hike—or a ball game—pull it right on
your forehead, and laugh at the zephyrs
These caps are as good looking as you'll demand
—and the adjustable feature doesn't make them
more expensive.
