Rogers Peet and Company, a men's and boys' outfitters, wrote of this calendar in their 1903 publicity: "None of our stores have any for direct distribution--it's too good for a throw-away". The cover illustrations in silver & tan depict a small, self-possessed boy dressed in an elegant sailor suit. Very good .
