Remarks:
|
This card gracefully displays the sensuality of a woman�s legs next to those of a convalescing WWI officer, both clad in Luxite hosiery. In the early part of the 20th Century, Luxite made hosiery, upon which it's reputation was founded, as well as silk lingerie. Based in Milwaukee, USA, Luxite was a division of the Holeproof Hosiery Company, also based in MIlwaukee. Prior to 1947, Luxite was a stand-alone brand before being known as 'Luxite by Holeproof'. Holeproof was duly acquired by Kayser in 1954.
