Kittyinva: October, 1916 coat ad from London’s Debenham & Freebody.
Debenham & Freebody! This is funny to see. I just have read Agatha Christie’s “Murder in the Orient Express”. In that book Hercule Poirot recognizes a lie of a witness about the name of suspect. The witness says it is “Freebody” but Poirot concludes it must be “Debenham” and explains the pressure on the witness generated the association of names due to the brand “Debenham & Freebody”. A Ms Debenham is on board of the train.
