Vintage Lowe & Campbell Athletic Goods Sportswear Tag

Curious about this one. Found out that Lowe & Campbell was purchased by Wilson in 1931. Does anyone know if the brand still existed as a subsidiary? Curious on the age as well. The "dry clean only" label is kind of odd.

Here is some info from fuzzylizzie on this:

“Lowe & Campbell was located in Kansas City, Missouri. I didn’t find out a lot about the company until I found an application to make the building that was the company headquarters part of the National Register of Historic Places. According to the application, the company was formed in Kansas City in 1912 by George Lowe and Keedy Campbell. The partners merged their company with Wilson Sporting Goods in 1931, but they retained a separate identity. Their headquarters, which also included some light manufacturing, was built in 1925, and the company remained there until 1961, when it appears that Lowe & Campbell was completely merged into Wilson.”
