What’s all the shouting about… it’s Textron Mens wear!
He’ll whoop for joy, he’ll shout like a boy, if it’s Textron you put in his stocking.
Men like the easy-going comfort of Textron pajamas . . . those longer trousers, roomier armholes. They go for the non-binding elastic in Textron’s shorts, the famous “parachute” seat. And how they approve of Textron tailoring . . . smaller stitches, generous seams! Finest rayons or Sanforized cottons. Pajamas, $3.95 to $10.95. Shorts, $1.00 to $2.00. At leading stores throughout the country.

Wow! Pajamas that make you act like an idiot. I’ll bet they sold a lot of them with that ad.
Where’s the empty whiskey bottle?
This is the gayest ad I’ve ever seen!

That little kid in the back is probably praying that he was adopted.

Looks like the kid’s reading a book on witchcraft: What’s “ACULT SEMAVIDA?”
Maybe he’s put a spell on the two guys. Yeah, that’s what happened.
Rick- the book says “ADULT BEHAVIOR”
Duh. Now that you’ve told me, I can see it.
Buy him Textron clothes and he’ll act like a lunatic — he’ll hijack the kid’s toys and then climb onto the snow-covered roof in his underpants. I think I’ll be safer sticking with cotton undies, thank you.
