This 2-page advertisement spread for Right-Posture boys clothing appeared in the Saturday Eveing Post (March 20, 1920). The artist was Frank X. Leyendecker, a noted early 20th century illustrator. Right-Posture was a brand name for the Snellenburg Clothing Co.. The Saturday Evening Post was one of the most important American magazines at the time. A 2-page advertising spread suggests that Snellenburg was an important manufacturr at the time. The illustration shows the boys playing marbles. They wear a variety of outfits. Most illustrations in clothing catalogs and magazines show American boys wearing flat caps and to a lesser extent beanies. The boys wear various suit, both Norfolk suits and a single-breasted suit. One boy wears a sleeveless sweater. All the boys wear knickers showing how common knickers were in the 1920s. The boys all wear black long stockings and high-top shoes. We see another Snellenburg advertisement in the Post for October showing suits, knickers, and arange of other fashions.
