No article in our estimation is so important or has
been much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to ladys dress, skirt which will every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object. To produce such 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
an opinion upon such article. We found that kinds
of sarched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord as
is called could not be used because when pressed out
ofther proper shape they would not that shape
in other words they would remain in the same position
or shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application of Whalebone we found that
it required very carefuy-seected quail ty that the
size, length their position in the skirt and in fact all its
proportions particularly important We sue
cessul in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every objection, and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the of the la
dies. As soon advertised them for sale, (and we
were the first to do it, the demand for the Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than cur ma.
chnery was able to supply, that sewers and sewing
chimes put into operation and the market flooded
with goods of different Materials and put together with
out any regard to size FORM comness or any other OBJ
jec we should suppose but TO sell. And these
all called Whalebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and styles
we propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
APPLIED To ANY OTHER GOODS, why the SEAM
LESS WHALEB0NE SKIRT is superior to any and all
other kinds and the only article which equally adapted
to the paror the street and the crowd To say nothing
experience in bringing The article to perfection, and
the unanimous appreciation of the ladies, from the time
we first offered themfor SALE call particular attention
to few important considerations Our bones are
carefully selected and prepared by direction
from actual experiences cloth, which is light and
strong, is expressly for this purposethe aper-
lures wes for the bones and cords form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them seamless that la
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out as they certainly do in the sewed skirts, from
the constant pressure of the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement MADE and the only
objection to has been to obtain article with
sufficient Stiffness and elasticity, and at the time
yielding and pabe to keep the dress its proper shape
below the bones. 10 accomplish this object have this
successfully introduced series of elastic cords
made from the only thing that be produced, which
has this desirable elasticity and will recover and keep
proper place when pressed out of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods, and twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect every
particular that can be found.
We prepared to supply all who wish for the best
and from past experience and by good judges have been
ced the most desirable goods the The
public are cautioned against worthless limitations.
Every genuine article is stamped "Homes's Improved
Seamless Whalebone Skirt" and may be found by the
trade in the hands of many of the largest obbng houses
in the city. Il. h j. HOLMES.
