these ads ARE fantastic!! I imagine that those suits are custom made but in 1915 one could get SO much more for $25 or $624 (according to google) than now. amazing.

I bet the craftsmanship was phenomenal back then because people expected things to last a long time. I would guess most working people would keep the same suits for their whole lives.
Yes what a different world!!!
Definitely! It was such a good find. I found a bunch of old newspapers from the early 1940's while remodeling my first house (it was being used as wall insulation). Those pretty much turned to dust after a few days' exposure to sunlight and air.
wow that must have been so cool to see those 1940s papers....I think we can still go to the library and see these old documents on microfiche, I just don't remember that this is possible!
I mean, I don't think to go and look at the library for historical curiosity!
It was amazing! I didn't think of the library either @natureofbeing. Great thought there. I could spend hours looking at old newspapers. It's interesting what has changed but also what has remained unchanged.
