air conditioned duds


another group of strange film strips acquired from a news agency.   there is no date, but, based on the dates of the rest of the film strips, it is in the mid 1930's.
WEARS AIR-CONDITIONED DUDS  460
GILA CENTRE, ARIZ---With the coming of hot weather, Hand Polakis dons a suit of his own design which pumps air from bellows on his shoes to strategic spots in his suit, supplying him with constant breezes and tempering the rigors of the good, old summer-time.




notice that there are strings tied around his shoes so that he can walk and  shoot the breeze!
