When you buy Everwear Hosiery; made in Mil- waukee, you get more than insured hosiety. You get hosiery that outlives its insurance. The guarantee of six months’ absolute wear that goes with Everwear Hosiery is like an endowment policy rather than like “straight life.” Furthermore, Everwear is unlike other so-called guaranteed hose. Everwear is not thick and clumsy and uncomfortable. Everwear is sheer and thin and smooth like finest lisle, It will not smart or draw the feet. The makers of Everwear sought to make their hosiery comfort- ei even before they tried to make it proof against holes They succeeded absolutely in both endeavors. Everwear is the most comfortable, thinnest and coolest guaranteed hosiery in America and at the same time is the only guaranteed hosiery that out- lives its guarantee of six months’ wear without holes or break, or new hose free.
