Newsletter of The Brotherhood of Trainmen. Lots of cool wartime content. 

Turn of the Century "Sensible" Denim Coveralls Ad

Johnston and Larimer ad for the "Sensible" denim coveralls. "The Modern Work garment" includes the not very prophetic line "Overalls are OUT of Date-Why should YOU wear them any longer?" 2 sided  handbill advertisement.

World War I "Kan the Kaiser" Carhartt Overalls Ad

Terrific WWI era ad from Hamilton Carhartt. Engineers work on laying rails while World War One biplanes dogfight overhead.
