Scope and content
In March of 1938 Klopfenstein's men's wear, 935-37 Broadway, received their first order of custom-tailored Hart Schaffner & Marx suits shipped on shaped hangers in specially constructed wooden cases. Watching the unpacking is Dick Bennett (far left), amateur tennis champion of Washington and California. He is wearing a gray herringbone Shetland three-button lounge coat and gray Hanley Hall hat. Don Baker of Klopfenstein's is showing Mr. Bennett how the suits are packed, and Rod Shaw, also of Klopfenstein's, is taking a new suit out of one of the special shipping cases. (T.Times, 3/8/1938, p.19).
