S K I r. Il !
No article in our estimation is so important or has
been much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to adys dress, skirt which will inevery particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such an article, we commenced
than W 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 fern
opinion upon such article. We found all kinds
Of sarched goods and cotton cord wire cord as
II called could not be used because when pressed out
Of their proper shape they would that shape
in other words they would remain in the same position
shape they might under any circumstances be
into Upon the application Of Whalebone we found that
it required very careiuy-seleced quail ~; that the
size, length their position in the skirt and In fact all its
proportions particularly important We were sue
cossful in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every Cbecon and was pronounced by the best judges
could ind perfectly adapted to the wants of the la
dies AS we advertised them for sale, land we
the first to do it). the demand for the seameess
Wlaebone Skirt became so much greater than our ma
chinery able to supply that sewers and sewing ma
chimes put into operation, and the market flooded
with goods Of different materials and put together with
out any regard to size, form. comness any other OBJ
ject should suppose, but TO sell. And these were
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 SEA M
LF.SS WHABEB0NE SKIRT is superior TO any and all
other kinds and the only article which equally adaped
to the paror the street and the crowd To say nothing
our experience in bringing The article to perfection and
the unanimous appreciation o the ladies, from the time
first offered themor SALE call particular attention
TO few important considerations Our bones are
crsfuly selected and prepared by direction and
from actual experiences CLOTH which Is light and
strong Is expressly for this purpose--the amer.
lures we for the bones end cords woven or form
cd In the CLOTH which renders them seamless so that Ia
dies will mot be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out. they certainly do in the sewed skirts rom
tn constant pressure Of the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement made the only
objection has been TO obtain an article with
sufficient stiffness and elasticity, and at the same time
yielding and pabe 10 keep the dresin 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 keep s
proper place when pressed out Of shape This cord Il
made expressly for our goods, and twisted IN manu-
facturing that they will not roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the nearest perfect every
particular that can be found.
We are prepared 10 supply all who wish for the best
and past experience aud by good judges have been
pronou ced the desirable goods In the market The
public cautioned against worthless limitations.
Every genuine article Is stamped "Homes's Improved
Seamless Whaebone skirt;V and may be found by the
trade in the hands of many Of the largest obbng houses
