[Four columns of goods in type only fill the top half. Below, a measurement chart drawn as a jacket, a waistcoat and a pair of plus fours lettered A to P sits beside a printed self-measurement form with blank boxes to fill in, the Goldskin label and guarantee tab flank the cape panel and the caped rider in the rain stands at the lower right. The fractions in the stove box sizes are too small to resolve in this scan.]
