Last great song....I'd have to think on that.

I just saw this logo pop up on a Facebook post, and it triggered a memory. This sticker was on the rear wi down of my late Father's Renault 5TL purchased in 1973.

An advertisement promoting work clothes in 1946. It suggests that wearing these clothes will lead to better job opportunities and promotions. The advertisement features images of men wearing various types of work attire, implying a range of styles and fits are available.
