Figure 1.--We notice snow suits for younger boys. They allow boys and girls to play out on the csnow without getting a chill. One company came out with a Polar Patrol play suit, presumably trying to cash in on the Byrd expedition to the Arctic. The manufacturer calimed it was designed like an aviator's flying suit. It was a kind of snow suit for boys who might not ordinarily wear one. It does not seem to have been real popular. We don't notice any in the ohotographic record. It was made by Leatgherkrapt Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
