The Sears ad copy read, "Our best . . . finer mercerized cotton yarns, strong double tops. 29 c. Pair; 3 pairs 85c. It's always fun to wear these colorful mid-length socks . . . whether you wear the tops up or down. No matter how you wear them, the knit-through stripes always show. And besides, they're so soft and good-looking. Knit of fine
mercerized yarns . . . the kind that take such beautiful colors. And they're better quality than the socks at left. Rich colors that most every youngster likes. 2-ply heels and toes give a lot of extra wear. Shipping weight, pair 3 ounces. Colors: brown, maroon, navy blue. Sizes: 7, 7 1/2, 8, 8 1/2, 9, 9 1/2.
