Alligator Raincoats & Sportswear
"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.

this photograph ran in LIFE magazine in my high school days and was a game-changer for me; my beloved Nature could be quite cruel. it turns out to be something of a set-up, but that doesn't change its impact. he also photographed the black-power salute of the '68 olympics in mexico city, another game-changer. i read today that mr dominis passed away on 12/30/13 at the age of 92

The identities of the sailor and nurse have never been confirmed. However, George Mendonsa, a 22 year old Navy quartermaster at the time, and Greta Zimmerman, a 21 year old dental assistant, are believed to be in the photo, one of the most famous photos Life Magazine ever published.

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.

The gentleman in the center appears to be a tourist who came to see The Bean for all the usual reasons. Instead, he found himself in the midst of a thousand people performing "Crowd Out" by David Lang. I'm not sure if he ever figured out what this was all about. It was,of course, a special occasion: normally it's the tourists who have the run of the place...
