No article in estimation is so important or has
been SO much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to ladys dress, skirt which will in every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such article commenced more
hana yea 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 to form
opinion upon such article. We found that all kinds
Of sached goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord as
II is called could be used because when pressed ont
of their proper shape they would that shape
in other words they would remain in the same position
shapethey might under any circumstances be pressed
into. Upon the application of Whalebnne we found that
it required very carefuy-selected dual Nv that the
size, length their position in the skirt and in fact all its
proportions were particularly important We were sue
cessul in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every objection and pronounced by the best judges
could ind perfectly adapted the wants of the la
dies. As as advertised them for sale land we
were the first to do it, the demand for the Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than our ma.
chinery was able to supply that sewing ma.
chimes were put into operation, and market
with goods OF different Materials and together with
out any regard to size form. confines any other
ect as We should suppose, but sell. And these were
\ Ill called Whalebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and fyes
| we propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
| APPLIED TO ANY OTHER GOODS, why't the SEAM
LESS WHALEB0NE SKIRT is superior to any and all
other kinds and the only article which equally adapted
to the parnr the street and the crowd To say nothing
our experience in bringing The article perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies' from the time
we first offered them for sale, call particular attention
to few more important considerations Our bones are
reuy selected and prepared by direction and
fom actual experiences CLOTH which light and
strong is woven expressly for this purposethe aper-
lures wes for the bones and cords woven or form
ed in the cloth, which renders them seamless so that la
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out as they certainly do in the skirts rom
tn cons ant pressure OF the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement made the only
objection to overcome has been obtain an article with
sufficient Stiffness and elasticity, and at the same time
yielding and pabe to keep the dress its proper shape
below the bones. To accomplish this object we have this
season successfully introduced series of elastic cords
made from the only thing that be produced which
has this desirable elasticity and will recover and keep its
proper place When pressed out Of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods, so twisted in manu-
featuring that they will roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect in every
Particular that can be found.
We are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
aud from past experiences and by good judges have been
pronou ced the most desirable goods in the market The
public are cautioned against worthless limitations.
Every genuine article is stamped ''E & j. Holiness
Improved Seamless Whalebone Skirt" and may be found
by the trade in the hands of many of largest ohbng
houses in the city. L. d ]. HOLMES
