The line "warranted never to rip" does most of the work here, promising durable work clothes at a time when overalls were a staple for laborers, farmers, and tradesmen. Advertising of this kind, with its blunt boasts and "for sale here" invitation, was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when shops and makers competed on the strength of their cloth and stitching. The record gives no date, and the name Wagner on the shelflist card is unverified, so the maker and exact period remain uncertain. Even so, the print offers a direct look at how workwear was sold to ordinary customers.
