"Because... It's Sure to Rain!"
Life Magazine 1941-04-07
Specializing in rain-repellent outerwear the Ferguson Waterproof Company was incorporated before 1911, which later reorganized as the Alligator Oil Clothing Company in 1916.
From 1916 through 1918, the company’s manufacturing took place in a two-story factory at 1118 S. Grand. World War I provided impetus for major corporate expansion and construction of the National register-listed plant at 4153-71 Bingham Avenue, St. Louis, MO. The United States Army purchased some three million Alligator raincoats for soldiers, according to an Alligator advertisement. All of these coats were made in St. Louis, and led to the company’s decision to relocate to a large, modern facility with sufficient capacity for large demand. The company’s new facility led to boastful advertising touting its wartime production and the assertion that Alligator’s coats were the only union-made rain gear in the nation. The company’s ads appeared nationally into the 1940s. In 1943, expansion of the plant led to Alligator opening New York and Los Angeles branch offices. During World War II, Alligator enjoyed substantial success as both a military and civilian supplier.
In 1966, clothing giant BVD, Inc. acquired Alligator, continuing production at the Bingham Avenue plant until 1971. In 1971, BVD sold the factory complex to Multiplex, Inc., a manufacturer of beverage dispensing equipment and water treatment systems for the foodservice industry. Multiplex left the plant by the late 1990s, and the buildings have been vacant since then.
Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Rachel in this classic car themed pinup! Armed with her swimsuit and LIFE magazine, Rachel is ready to have a nice day at the beach! Of course, it's her trusty 1939 Ford Deluxe that will get her there! First introduced in 1938, the 'De Luxe Ford' was the middle man between their standard model cars and the higher end luxary models. The early 1938 models had a rounded hood which gave way in 1939 for the V-shaped grill with vertical bars. The 1940 model had a three part gill with horiztonal grill bars. The De Luxe series was actually a separate line of cars from the other brands Ford had at the time. In 1941 the De Luxe series was joined by the Super De Luxe series, however both of these were not used as separate line cars and became part of the Ford lineup.

In a city full of brand name hotels, the Herald Square Hotel West 31st Street is neither a chain nor a franchise. It is privately owned by Abraham Puchall, a German shepherd breeder who said he senses a psychic link with Life's founding editor, John Ames Mitchell.
"There's some kind of weird connection," Mr. Puchall, 52, said.
Life Magazine, in its heady, early days, was full of social satire and original illustrations — bearing little resemblance to the picture book it became, or to the now-defunct newspaper supplement that followed.
Today, Mr. Puchall's hotel serves as an ode to that early incarnation of Life, which was housed in that very Beaux-Arts building between 1894 and 1936. The walls of the hotel are covered with magazine memorabilia: original artwork by Life illustrators including Charles Dana Gibson, replicas of witty cover drawings, and old advertisements, such as an undated one, boasting escorts to serve as "mourners or pallbearers at fashionable funerals."
The hotel's exterior, altered over the years by construction projects, remains ornate; the interior, while spotless, is more modest — its paint a little faded, and it's tiles mismatched. But what it lacks in coordination, it makes up for in price. Depending on the season, the room rates range from $69 for a small single room with a shared bathroom, to $259 a renovated double room, featuring pillow-top mattresses, private marble bathrooms, and flat-screen televisions — hundreds of dollars less than a room at many city chains. About 40 of the 117 rooms have been renovated in recent years, a hotel manager said.
The architectural duo behind the New York Public Library on West 42nd Street, Carrere & Hastings, designed the building in 1893. In later years, the building would become residential hotel, and then a tourist hotel.
The Puchall family purchased the building in 1970. Since then, Mr. Puchall has been hiring researchers to look into the history of the building, the magazine once housed in it, and that magazine's editor. "We're trying to make it more and more like a museum," he said. One researcher, Nadine Charlsen has been studying the building, and its former tenants for nearly two decades. "Every time I think I'm coming to the end, there's a new connection," she said.
