Here we se underwear manufactured by Milsan. It is marketed under the "Rockey" brand, presumably to give it a tough image. It is not a company we know much about. Two styles of boys’ underwear. Both boys wear white cotton briefs, but the boy on the left wears a sleeveless knit undershirt whereas the boy on the left wears a t-shirt. The color is standard white. The ad was placed by the company marketing the garments--J.J. Newberry. I'm not sure what kind of store that was. It appears to be a chain store. The ad appeared in Good Housekeeping Magazine and can be determined by the Good Housekeeping seal which can be seen in the advertisement.
