Fifty pages of what used to be a swatch book line for the Fall and Winter seasons in 1914-15, published by The Royal Tailors of Chicago-New York. The stars of the book are Cobb, Johnson and Mathewson. They are all drawn in very dapper outfits. Cobb is in a three button double breasted overcoat. Mathewson is similarly dressed, while Johnson is in a three button double breasted suit. Someone at that time converted the rest of the book into an ephemera collection of styles of the day, filling every page with different ads and drawings. The book measures a grand 20 x 22”. Tough to find complete.
