Advertisement, Sandler of Boston, "Derby Winners" Natural Straw Hat & Shoes, Stewart's Budget Shoes Lexington KY, Original Magazine Ad, USA, 1962

Derby season fashion — hats, shoes, a purse, and a horse in the background.

This 1962 three-color advertisement for Sandler of Boston, sold at Stewart's Budget Shoes in Lexington, KY, captures the Kentucky Derby spirit with characteristic local flair: natural straw accessories arranged elegantly, a horse and rider in the background, under the tagline "Natural Straw 'Extras' — Sure Derby Winners!" It's fashion advertising that knows exactly where it lives. The reverse carries the Liberty National Bank automobile financing advertisement — making this a companion piece to several others in this Kentucky 1962 collection.

A delightful piece for a dressing room, Kentucky home, or vintage fashion collection. A charming Derby season gift for shoe lovers, Lexington history collectors, or anyone drawn to the regional character of mid-century advertising.
