FASHION MEN'S SUITS.
Adler Buy Collegian clothes here Counter or window display advertisement for men’s suits with young model in Jazz Age cut suit and arts & crafts pastoral scene in the background with decorative border.
Milwaukee WI: Adler Compay ca. 1920. Large image mounted on thick card stock 14 x 22 in. Colour lithograph decorative arts & crafts border nice colours varnished some minor edgewear lettering at borders slightly cropped in order for counter display to be cut to standard size very minor soiling lower fore-edge some yellowing from varnish still VG examplar. A vivid and scarce counter advertising display for Adler Company Collegian men’s suits line. The Collegian line was for college men and any man who cared about perfect style with points of refinement. Although their advertising was not specifically collegiate their advertising campaigns often employed illustrations that conjured idealized college associations implying that if one were to buy their ready-to-wear suits then they too would be successful in college business and the appropriate middle class lifestyle. This advertisement offers a beautiful example of Jazz Age advertising. The Adler Company was founded in 1848 by Solomon Adler in Milwaukee Wisconsin and grew and thrived through the Civil War the Victorian era and eventually would employ over 900 people with nationwide sales in the 1920s over one and one-half million dollars. During the Jazz Age the Adler Company was synonymous with their Collegian line. The company was liquidated after the crash in 1929.

This catalogue provides an invaluable illustrated historical reference for the colours styles and fabrics during the explosion and impact of Christian Dior’s new designs reflecting the refined femininity with severely cinched waists extra padding to the hips longer and decidedly more romantic skirts and dresses as well as nicely fitted jacket-and-skirt tailored suits. The 1930s featured more modest and form fitted glamorous styles focusing on natural high waist fitted hips and longer skirts with high necklines and wide shoulders. Modeled on the styles popularized by such glamour queens as Greta Garbo Joan Crawford and Ginger Rogers the ideal “30s woman†was supposed to be tall slender with tiny waist and narrow hips. These designs show the marked rise in special elegance of 1938 fashions emphasizing the pencil-thin silhouette skunk jacket extravagant hats with veils molded dresses full skirts with bright patterns and tiny sailor hats. These catalogues are quite scarce and nearly all have perished over the decades from use not only from the original women’s stores fabric stores tailors seamstresses but also as reference works for costume departments designers and others in the ensuing decades.
