Description
On back of card : The suits illustrated are only a few of the large assortment of the celebrated Siegel garments which we now have in stock . We invite your inspection . The styles are all the latest creations , beautiful colorings and fabrics , and prices to suit your pocket book . L . Pam , Joplin , Mo . Leopold Pam , who advertised himself as "Pam , the Women Outfitter " specialized in ladies outer garments . The Siegel garments he promoted on this card came from the Detroit-based Benjamin Siegel Company , which offered fine quality women's and children's cloaks , suits , and furs . The models ' attire heralds a major transition in American fashion design---away from bulky sleeves and skirts and toward slender , more tailored profiles . Popular colors for suits and coats at that time included black , navy , tan , castor , brown , blue , and gray . Pam's store at 410 Main was only in business until the early teens . Perhaps Mr . Pam couldn't keep up with the competition from Fleischaker's and the new Ramsay's and Newman's . Sources : "The Detroiters : Benjamin Siegel.
