Working or 

 Walking 



The man who wears a President Improved Suspender can 

 work easier and walk easier. He realizes its ease and 

 comfort by forgetting that he wears a suspender. '. t meet: 

 every need — from the elasticity that makes 

 hill climbing on a bicycle easy, to the sup- 

 port it supplies to the worker at the desk. 

 No other suspender in the world gives such 

 ease and service. No other suspender re- 

 sponds so readily to every move of the body. 

 Its handsome trimmings do not rust and soil 



the clothes.
