The short pants suit was for boys 3-16 years of age. Except for the short pants , this could have been an American catalog. .

We have several German catalog items from 1955. Suits were still commonly worn.We note a Peek & Clopprnburg catalog offering a boys suit and girls' plaid-like dresses. We do not know much about the catalog copany yet. The short pants suit was for boys 3-16 years of age. Except for the short pants , this could have been an American catalog. We note an unidentified German catalog page with bath robes and sleepwear. It is headed "Wir sind noch gar nicht müde, Mutti!" which means something like, "We are not tired yet at all, mummy!" The page offers both pajamas and bath robes. The pajama seem for younger girls, but bath robes for both boys and girls are offered. Strangely the children in bathrobes are not wearing pajamas. We are not sure if they were meanyt to be wearing night shirts or perhaps after a bath. The overall depiction, however, does not seem to be after a bath. The girl has a print bath robe, the girl some kind of print. The German term is Morgenrock, I think morning skirt or robe. The girls bathrobe is done in sizes 4-8 years and the boy;s 5-9 years.
