This page is the "Showplace Fashion Guide" by Willa Van and tells you all you ever wanted to know about suede.

Finally, this is the inside back cover, with lots of ads.  You could get a room with a bath at the Hotel Chesterfield for $2.50!  And then have dinner at Kungsholm's for $1.50.  Just add several zeros for today's prices.  Also on this page is an ad for Jack Dempsey's restaurant and bar on Broadway and 49th Street.  My mother once had a nice, large size photo taken at Jack Dempsey's of her and her friends having a good time at Dempsey's.  We came across it one time while looking at old photos when I was about 14 and she tore the photo up!  Why?  Because she was smoking and had a drink in front of her.  Guess she thought that would stop me from ever doing that.  Sorry, Mom! 

Here's another page with some ads:
