It's a Boy's Life

After Bailey of Grand Rapids, MI emailed me music covers of George M. Cohan's song, Over There, and included an ad for boy scout union suits, Cory of Waterville, Maine emailed me additional boy scout ad posters and Boys' Life magazine covers like these boys boxing in their BVD underwear, having stripped off their scout uniforms:  

and this cover of a boy scout taking a swing, dressed in his baseball uniform wearing a union suit underneath: 


The Saturday Evening Post featured boys too, like this kid in bed, wearing a warm union suit while sewing up a hole in this britches: 


and this boy wears a union suit under his clothes too, while giving his dog a bath:

A musical boy is featured in this cover from 1926, practicing his accordian, warm as toast, wearing a red union suit shown peaking out of his shirt collar and pants' cuffs:











Thanks, Cory for sending in these posters

 and  magazine covers of boys keeping warm 

and comfortable in their long underwear... Chris
