Union Suits v. Drawers

Some people prefer union suits because no shirt crawls up the back in warm weather. Others prefer two-piece suits because these do not bind at the crotch. Both types were good customers for knit underwear makers who, in 1925, sold 11.500,387 dozen union suits, 11,261,521 dozen shirts and drawers. Total value was $163,276,772. Pennsylvania has 114 of the 298 factories.
