"True economy exists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary; dispense with the new pair of gloves; mend the old dress; live on plainer food if need be; so that under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income." Part of the frugal behavior of the day was to purchase multiple cuffs and collars, for those were quickly dirtied and easily replaced. This monogrammed shirt is lacking its collar for such a reason. (EL 1988.6.1)
