One men's store that did advertise was Browning King, "outfitter to men and boys since 1822," running an essay in the Sunday News addressing the shortages, contrasting the New York situation to the worse conditions in London, where their head buyer had made a recent trip to resume shipments from prewar suppliers. "He thought we were suffering from shortages...until he went to London," the ad said, where "clothing rations are not sufficient to outfit a man even once a year." In America "it is difficult to buy a suit. Choices of patterns and materials leave much to be desired. Shirts are far from plentiful. underwear sometimes is unobtainable for days at time." But in America "men still look as well dressed as ever." Customers were invited to visit Browning King stores at 551 Fifth Avenue, 241 Broadway, 547 Fulton Street in Brooklyn and on Broad Street in Newark, " where they would be "likely to find men's apparel to enable you to walk out 'dressed your best' in the Easter parade."
