HOLMES'S IMPROVED SEAMLESS
I'm WHALEB0NE

IN WHALEBONE
S K / r II !
No article in our estimson is so important or has
been 60 much needed to give graceful and elegant form
10 adys Dress skirt which will in every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such an article commenced more
than year since, experimenting, and made almost every
thing that could be imagined, and used every article
known obtain the desired elasticity and submitted our
experiment to the judgement Of ladies competent form
opinion upon such article. We found that all kinds
of arched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord as
II called could not be used because when pressed out
their proper shape they would recover that shane
in other words they would remain in the same position
shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application Of Whaebone found that
it required very carefully quail ly; that the
size, length, their position in the SKIRT and fact all it's
proportions particularly important We were sue
cossful in producing Bone Skirt which nearly
every obecon and was pronounced by the best Judges
could find, perfectly adapted to the wants of the Ia
dies. As soon advertised them for sale land we
were the frst do it, the demand for the seamleess
Whalebone Skirt became SO much greater than our ma
chinery able TO supply that and sewing ma
chimes put into operation, and the market flooded
with goods Of different materials, and put together with
any regard 10 size, FORM confines any other OBJ
ject should suppose, but to SELL And these were
| all called Whalebone Skirts lH
In consequence Of this multiplicity of kinds aud yes
we propose a few considerations WHICH CANNOT Be
| APPLIED TO ANY OTHER GOODS, why the SEAM
LESS VIII ALEBONB SKIRT Is superior ID anv and ali
other kinda and the only article which is equally adopted
10 the paor the street and the crowd To say nothing
our experience IN bringing The article to perfection and
appiNDdhon OF the ladteB, from the time
we fret offered hemor sale, call particular attention
| TO few more Important considerations Our boues are
carefully selected and prepared by own direction and
fom onr actual ezpefiepce our cloth, which light and
strong, IL woven expressly for this purpose-he aper-
tues wee for the bones and cords are woven or form
oil IN the cloth, which renders them seamless so that ia
dies will mt b. annoyed by stitches breaking aud bones
hyngou ~ they certainly do IN the sewed skirts from
| III constant pressure Of the bones upoa them.
The last and greatest improvement made and the onlv
Obi elton 10 has been obtain an article will
euhcnt Stiffness and elasticity, aud at the same time
yielding and pabe To keep the dress It's proper shane
below The bones, To accompsh this object we have tbs
season successfully introduced series Of elastic cords
made from the only thing that be produced which
has this desirable elasticity and will and Keen s
proper place when pressed out Of shape This cord Is
made expressly for goods, and 30 twisted In manu-.
facturiug that they will not roll curl up when washed
IN fact we present article the nearest perfect in every
particular that can be found.
We prepared to supply AL who wish for the best
aud from past experiences and by good Judges have been
pfpn0urced The most desirable goods IN The market The
public are cautioned against worthless imitatons.2a
