1940: The Gentry Suit

“Dress with Distinction!” urged Penney’s in this 1940 ad for a Gentry suit. I’m assuming that’s a brand name, although the word has a conventional meaning.

Of course, I think of Bobbie Gentry.

    If I could get a made-to-measure suit for $22.50, I’d wear it grocery shopping.
