BLAMED FOR SLOPPY MEN Binghamton, N.Y. (AP) -- Michael Santalucia, the last of Binghamton's custom hatmakers, claims the automobile has encouraged sartorial sloppiness. "Men stopped dressing up because of the auto," Santalucia says. "They got sloppy. They don't have to look nice any more. They are never on the street. They are always hidden in cars." --The Plain Speaker, 28 April 1950

People Dress Poorly. As for clothing, the English male, who used to be the best-dressed in the world, now is very poorly dressed. Many men have not bought a new suit in five years. Women are still wearing the "old look" for the most part. New clothes can be had only for ration points and a sales tax of 66 2-3 per cent is tacked onto the price. --The State, 2 September 1948
