The advertisement's central pitch is that these handkerchiefs arrive clean and soft, sealed in sanitary packages, a promise that spoke directly to the hygiene-conscious shopper of the 1920s. Arrow was the trade name of Cluett, Peabody & Company, a Troy, New York, firm best known for its collars and shirts, and its line of men's accessories was marketed with the same brand recognition. Mass-market advertising of this period leaned heavily on cleanliness and factory-sealed packaging as signs of modern, trustworthy goods. The poster, a color lithograph, is a useful record of how men's dress accessories were sold to the public in those years.
