Ingeniously the clothing trade, usually identified with Babbitry, is glorified by sophisticated treatment. An example is the story of the rise & fall of starched collars as reflected in the glorious reign and ignominious fate of the Arrow Collar Man -"a national idol who never lived."

They all met in Santa Fe, played together, thought it would be glorious to run away to Mexico. So they did. Just before they reached the border Teddy, the most grownup, turned the car, drove them grimly back to Santa Fe.
