In late 1926 American silk manufacturer H.R. Mallinson & Co. introduced a bold new line of printed silks, twelve landscape designs, each available in from eight to twelve colorways (color combinations) on three different ground fabrics. The designs celebrated America's National Parks - then only a decade old. The designs represented all the usual styles necesssary for making clothing: allover prints, horizontal stripes, checks, a border design. This overall design depicts Bridal Veil Falls at Yosemite National Park, on Mallinson's trademark Pussy Willow silk. The firm donated two different colorways of this design, one with a tan ground and one with a green ground. .

Sleeve patch worn on Major League Baseball uniforms during the 1939 season. The patch commemorated The centennial of Baseball although baseball had been played in various forms before 1839. The anniversary gave credence to the myth that Abner Doubleday should receive credit for formalizing the rules of baseball in 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. While Doubleday's actual involvement is disputed today, he was an important figure to those who argued that baseball was strictly an invention of the United States.
1939's Centennial of Baseball coincided with the opening of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
