Here a well-known hat name appears beside a women's clothing label, which suggests advertisers in the 1920s sold a complete look rather than a single garment. Knox was a long-established American hat maker, and pairing it with Thurn points to an ad built around the headpiece as much as the dress. The decade's cloche hats, bobbed hair and shorter skirts changed what women wore, and magazine advertising like this helped carry those styles beyond the big cities.
