Sailor Suit
A tailor aboard the U.S.S. Minnesota made this child-sized sailor suit for Mortimer M. Lawrence of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Born in 1890, Mort Lawrence was probably in fourth grade in 1900 when the suit was made. It is a copy of those worn by sailors in the late 1800s and is now a part of the textile collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Although not actually worn by Sterling North, these outfits are the kind of clothing he might have worn while growing up in 1918's Wisconsin.
