Happy Presidents Day!

This post is dedicated to the great, yet hard to remember Chester Arthur. He was, in the words of one biographer:

Dignified, tall, and handsome, with clean-shaven chin and side-whiskers, Chester A. Arthur "looked like a President."

Another hard to remember President is Rutherford Hayes. This President was not as fashionable as Chester and was subject to many cruel epigrams, including:

If your shoes are shabby, and your coller is fray'd
You probably shoppe at the same store as Rutherford Hayes

and

Rutherford, Rutherford, your voting record may be honoroable
but your overcoat and hat look down right abominable
I know you're not a Whig, but I really must say
you dress as cheap
as a 5 cent toupee
