Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 November 1901 — His Wonderful Vest. [ARTICLE]

His Wonderful Vest.

The most conspicuous man in the audience at one of the east side political meetings recently was a local dandy who had scored a great success over his rival with a waistcoat of his own devising, and it was such as Berry Wall and J. Waldere Kirk never attempted. He caused a stir the moment he entered the room -Most of the front of his waistcoat was on exhibition, his coat being held back on either side by two large hands on which were a variety of rings. The waistcoat was white, with a large brown spot on either side, and a close inspection showed that it was covered with long hair. The owner proudly explained that it had b£en made from the hide of a white cow and that the brown spots had not been painted in, but had existed on the cow. He said that it was not only warm, hut “very natty,” and to be properly effective it should be worn with a red necktie, an article which he had neglected to purchase for the occasion. —New York Sun.
