Description: Vintage store display for the Royal Tailors, a made-to-order clothing company in Chicago that provided bespoke tailored suits and overcoats, or dresses and skirts to customers of general stores and other clothing shops outside the city. Metal display was found with ad for a dry-goods store in Plaza, North Dakota. Many items from that store were in an auction in Montana of the contents of a Victorian general-store museum, including this display. It measures 24" wide. The sign with the tiger is on a piece that folds down over the shelving, presumably just for shipping. The display is 18" tall with the tiger sign at the top (and 12" tall when the tiger sign is folded over the shelves). There are two tiered shelves, each divided into two compartments approx 11 1/4" wide and 4" deep. The display is approx 16" deep. At the bottom front, there is a narrow 24" wide open slip-pocket shelf for papers, like the order forms for clothing from the Royal Tailors. Shelf has a couple of little dents plus bumps/dents on the lower corners, as shown. There was a lot of intriguing ephemera from the Royal Tailors clothing company in the slip shelf, which I am putting in a separate listing. I think the order blanks are probably more of interest to a seamstress or tailor or costume designer. Of particular interest is a booklet of 'ORDER BLANKS FOR MADE TO MEASURE CLOTHES' with 'TRACE SHEETS FOR USE WITH THE VISUAL-STYLER.' There are blanks for Men's tailored clothes (suits and overcoats, pants and shirts) and also for Ladies' Tailored clothes (dresses, coats, skirts and slacks).
