THE APOLLO SHIRT.

CAUSE. It is generally admitted that amongst the
various articles of clothing, there is nothing
so difficult to procure as a perfect fit in Shirts ;
in fact it is impossible, according to the pre-
sent mode of the shape and manufacture, that
it should be otherwise; every movement of
the body of the Shirt affects the position and
cleanliness of the breast, even in the mere
process of putting it on, as the body of the
4",%"1"..r^^ inti*tely connected with

DISCOVERY

and lays the first foundation of creases and
soiled lines; and when on, the action of the
arms and ordinary movements of the person,
without affecting the correct fit and appear-
ance of the breast, is quite unprovided for,
from there being no firm line of demarkation
between the breast and body, and also from
its improper form.

After the close attention and practical obser-
vance of several years to Shirt making, the
subscriber feels confident in the merits of the
discovery he is now offering to the public ; he
has derived the name from the general resem-
blance which the shape of the breast bears to
that classic and symbolic figure of antiquity,
the Lyre of Apollo, the breast being in that
form, is contained within a beautifully

stitched and
.firm band, cut out ofonejWe
of cloth entirely surrounding ,t and the collar;
the band resting in fair balance on the neck

advantages

in the same manner as a frame to a picture,
thus completely preventing the continual ac-
tion of the other parts of the Shirt, affecting

forming an apex at the botrom. , 'narks its pro-
per place, which, upon putting it on, it imme-
diately assumes and maintains; here the un-
necessary surplus length of plaits occasioned
by the square bottom of the common Shirt is

avoided, thus removing, in a grear measure,
one of the ,chief difficulties in fitting a Shirt.

The indentation on the sides of the breast of
the APOLLO SHIRT, allows complete room
for the play of the arms and braces without
interfering with the position of the breast, an
object most unaccountably overlooked in all
the Shirts at present in use,—in short, the
most violent exercise may be resorted to,
without hazarding the chance of removing the
breast from the position it ought to maintain,
coupled with this advantage, that the APOLLO
SHIRT, from its inability to crease, will be
perfectly clean, when the common Shirt is
completely soiled from the same amount of
wear.

ECONOMY

In a Shirt that fits, the economy of wear
must be self-evident ; with this is combined

judgment can select, whilst the prices charged
for the APOLLO SHIRTS bear no relation to
those charged for many qualities of the com-
mon Shirts in use.

CAUTION

—Parties imitating WAGGOTT'S APOLLO
SHIRT will render themselves liable to
prosecution.

Respectfully announces his intention of disposing of, at tut
EXTRAORDINARY REDUCTION IN PRICE, his entiie

STOCK OF SHAWLS, MANTLES,

SCOTTISH CLAN TARTANS ;
And, in order to effect an entire clearance in the shortest
possible space of time, he has re-marked every article in his
Establishment, in PLAIN FIGURES, and at SUCH LOW
PRICES as in all probabilily create a very decided impression.
It is almost unnecessary to say that the present state of the
times, and the precarious character of a Stock of such mag-
nitude as that in his Establishment, consisting entirely
of the MOST FASHIONABLE GOODS, has induced him
to come to this determination.
