Peculiar Label
I noticed an unusual label the other day on an old sweater of mine. The brand appeared to be "Bowen & Wright," which had a rectangular box inscribed around it and underneath it the words "Registered Trademark." But above them both in a semi-rainbow-shaped arc was "AUTHENTIC CLOTHING." What? Was there some doubt?
Imagine finding a loaf of bread labeled "AUTHENTIC FOOD." Wouldn't you wonder? In fact, I had taken the sweater off its hanger simply to confirm it was wool as I figured all along it was. There were no other labels than this one. Now the "Authentic" has me wondering what the darned thing IS made of.
