This nice newspaper advertisement illustration is all about Christmas, and shows an elder sibling of our Rabbit pattern, here in his fetching new rompers.
The envelope and typeface lead me to believe that this pattern might have been manufactured by the Beauty Pattern Company (1188-90 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York.)
The double-breasted coat gives Santa a rather official air; imagine two rows of shiny brass buttons!
Leggings rather than trousers would be quicker, less expensive, and probably fit a wider variety of Santas.
This unprinted pattern does not appear to have been used.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
