We notice an encylopedia ad in a 1969 issue of Parent's Magazine. Parent's Magazine included both fashion information as well as advertisements for children's clothing and other child related products. In this case it is an educational item. We are not sure which encylopedia, perhaps The Encyclopedia Americana. A younger boy is depicted using the encyclopedia. The boy looks to be an age where he would just beginning to read. He looks to be reading a junior version of the actual encyclopedia. The boy wears a bright red sweater, navy blue shorts, kneesocks, and double strap sandals. We assume the outfit was designed to give the encyclpedia a tony image.
