Excerpt from The Linen of the Latter-Day ManRess ills (and bills) centre in one's collar. Shirts, underwear, cravats, hats, shoes, gloves all yield a reasonable degree of service and satisfaction, but collars are proverbially, short-lived. Q A single trip to the tub may, and often does, ruin a collar irredeemably. It goes to the laundry spick-and-span and emerges a fuzzy-wuzzy thing, with ripped stitching, saw edges, yellow surface and split button-holes. Lf this happens in a good laundry, what can be expected of the average laundry, where acid takes the place of soap, and bleaching preparations take the place of water arid muscle q Nor is economy the only consideration in buying and wearing collars. The present is a touch-and-go age. You Americans, a keen foreign critic aptly declares, thinklike lightning and act like thunder. That means exertion, and exertion means perspira tion and its attendant discomforts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
