Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 153, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1918 — Win-the-War Wig. [ARTICLE]

Win-the-War Wig.

A wig to help to win the war has been “invented” by an American cotton manufacturer. It is made of a fibrous material in two colors —green and reddish brown. It fits down tight over the helmet and, while the soldiers are sneaking through the woodlands, blends into the forest so splendidly and naturally that 800 feet away nobody can tell that a company or a regiment of soldiers is on the move. Then when out of the woods and back in the trenches all the soldier must needs do is to take off his wig and reverse it and he is topped with a reddish-brown top piece, invisible against the earthwork of the trenches.
