Cartoon showing head and shoulders of 15 men, each of whom is wearing a white Coast Guard or Navy uniform. Each man is also wearing a white “Dixie Cup” hat, each styled a different way. A caption below each sketch provides commentary on the cap’s style:

“--didn’t tell me!” [Hat undersized]

“Back of the neck type (this fellow likes to see just how little it takes to keep hat on.)” [Hat on the back of the head]

“Just washed it and can’t do a thing with it.” [Hat with wavy brim]

“Salty! Proper vision means nothing to this guy.” [Hat tipped forward, almost over eyes]

“The platoon leader or dip in the center type.” [Hat brim has a bit of a point in front?]

“The tri-corner, or Paul Revere style.” [Hat brim formed into three points]

“There’s them wot likes wings.” [Hat brim formed into two points over ears]

“Starboard list. (Good if you have extra strong ears.)” [Hat tilted over one ear]

“The fore and aft, or gravy boat style.” [Hat brim formed into points at front and back]

“Well they told me to square it.” [Hat brim formed into four points]

“This lad likes the flow aft style, sometimes called cruiser stern style.” [Hat brim pulled into a point at the back]

“College Joe, or sports model.” [Hat brim folded down in front and up in back]
