O.K. Knee Pants

I couldn’t let the O.K. Knee Pants Co. go uninvestigated.

[Printer’s Ink, December 30, 1926. Click for a larger view.]

This advertisement appears as part of a two-page spread proclaiming the power of advertising in the New York Evening Journal: “New accounts ranging in value from $3,000 to over $20,000 tell the story.” That’s a lot of knee pants.

My dad, (b. 1912) wore corduroy knee-pants, and says kids called him 'Whistle-britches.'

That’s a new one to me. Does it signify the noise they make? Like corduroy?
