Title	Atlas Underwear Company Salesman Training Brochure
Subject	Business and Labor Underwear Clothing & dress Sales personnel
Place	Piqua (Ohio) Miami County (Ohio)
Description	This 1927 Atlas Underwear Company salesman training brochure, titled "Counter Talks and Counter Arguments" measures 9" x 12" (22.86 x 30.48 cm). The nineteen-page pamphlet explains "the fundamentals of union suit making" to future salesman and helps them answer questions such as "How does a stout differ from a regular in trunk measurement?" In 1899 the Piqua Underwear Company was formed by Clarence Langdon, Edgar A. Todd, and J.M. Cahill. Ten months later, the company was purchased by Leo M. Flesh, William P. Orr, and Edgar A. Todd, who renamed the company the Atlas Underwear Company. The company was renamed later as Medalist Allan-A Company. Piqua, Ohio was once known as the "underwear capital of the world." Fifteen different companies manufactured underwear and knitwear there from the late 1880s to the mid 1980s. These industries changed the economics of Piqua as they became a major employer of local women, allowing families multiple incomes. Women also created social clubs based on various factories, and the high school offered classes related to textile manufacturing.
