The Silva Lining, obtainable in all layette sizes, is a smooth, super-absorbent fabric in cotton, wool with cotton, and silk and wool with cotton."<br>We also get "The Vanta Style Review" of sweet babes wearing these amazing garments. Then there is the pretty, but odd baby under glass illustration by Annie Benson Muller (she was a prolific illustrator, but I couldn't find out much about her life). <br>This picture and much of the text stresses how sanitary everything is. Which may have been a response to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_poliomyelitis">Polio epidemics</a> that frightened everyone (the most memorable was in 1916, but outbreaks continued through the 1950's).<p>You also have an offer to write for a booklet -"Write EARNSHAW KNITTING CO.,NEWTON, MASS., DEPT. G-2, for free booklets - "Baby's Outfit", 80 pages of information and 500 suggestions for names; or ask for "The Toddler" for babies 2 to 6 years." <p>You can even become a Mothercraft graduate;<br> "When Buying Layettes - Ask your store to have a graduate of the Mothercraft course of study wait upon you. Look for the Mothercraft emblem. Write us if your store has no Mothercraft graduates. It means a year of hard study which makes a girl a professional saleswoman on Infant's wear." <p>"Next to your Baby...there's nothing like Vanta"</B><br>
