NEARING ITS 
THIRD YEAR 
SEPTEMBER 1914 saw the incepli9n of 
the "Thresher," October put it on 
the market, and December proved 
how rapidly spreads the name of a garment 
fitted for a specific purpose. Since those 
early months every precaution has been 
taken to keep the ' Thresher" well to the 
front so that to-day 
7'iV^E'

is all that experience and wearers' criticisms can 
achieve. This will be readily appreciated when con- 
sidering the fact that 17,000 British officers have used 
it, and what is more have recommended it. 
In the early days, six months' wear in Flanders was 
an achievement. After three years of war, eighteen 
months or two years' wear is at least expected. And 
to-day, we have the " Melcam " interlining which will 
stand even that supreme test. Water force-pumped 
can hardly penetrate it — it is supple, and stays so what- 
ever the temperature, and, best of all, does not even 
crack. 
It's so well worth knowing this new lining — the 
" Melcam," that we make this SPECIAL OFFER.
