There were two styles of ankle socks. One was imported from England. The other was referred to as a dress sock. Here we are not sure why. The socks were about the same price. The dress socks are done in bright colors. We would hsvre thought that the more muted solid colors stocksd would have been more suitable for dress wear. Note that only two styles of ankle socks were offered. This suggrsts tyhat theyy were nmot very commonly worn.
