POWR HOUSE SHOP CAPS as seen in the 1951-52 Montgomery Ward Fall-Winter Catalog. I'll take a dozen of those caps in Gray Cotton Convert, make that 2 dozen!
POWR HOUSE SHOP CAPS as seen in the 1953-54 Montgomery Ward Fall-Winter Catalog. Notice price decrease (a good thing) along with no more Gray Cotton Convert (a very bad thing).

Powr House Deadstock Chambray Vent Hole Work Shirt





I've been on the hunt for a shirt like this for longer than I care to remember. Time to check it off the list!
My new 1950's era Montgomery Ward Powr House workshirt. Features include MW Gripper snaps, double fabric back, shoulders & elbows, 16 ventilation eyelets at back & underarms and point of strain bar-tacks in green cotton thread, Vat-Dyed dark blue chambray, triple stitch seams with bar-tacks, interlined collar. Nice!
