HOLINESS IMPROVED SEAMLESS
HI WHALEBoNE
g x I r II

No article in estimation is important, or has
been much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to adys dress, skirt which will in every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such an article commenced
than year SINCE experimenting and almost every
thing that could be imagined, used every article
known obtain the desired elasticity and submitted our
experiment to the judgement of ladies competent
opinion upon such an article. We found that all kinds
of sarched goods and cotton cord cord as
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 position
shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
it required very caretuyseected quail ~ that the
size, length their position in the skirt and fact all its
proportions particularly important We were sue
cossul in producing Bone Skirt which over came nearly
every ohecton and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the of the la
dies. AS advertised them for sale, (and we
the first to do it,, the demand for the Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than our ma.
chinery was able to supply that sewers and sewing
chimes were put into operation and the market flooded
with goods o. different Materials and put together with
out any regard to size FORM confines any other OBJ
ject, should suppose but SELL And these were
all called Whalebone Skirts
In consequences of this multiplicity kinds and STYLES
we propose few considerations, WHICH CaNNUT 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 paor the street and the crowd To saw nothing of
experience in bringing The article perfection and
the unanimous appreciation of the ladies, from the time
we first offered themor SALE call particular attention
TO a rev more Important CONSIDERATIONS Our bones
carefully selected and prepared by direction and
from actual experience 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
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking bones
flying out they certainly do in the se@ed 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 in its proper shape
below the bones To accomplish this object have this
season successfully introduced series of elastic Cords
made from the only thing that be produced which
has this desirable elasticity, and will and keep
proper place when pressed out of shape This cord
made expressly for goods, and twisted in manu-
featuring that they will roll up when washed
In fact present article the perfect in every
particular that be found.
We are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
and from past experiences and by good judges have been
pronounced the most desirable goods in the market The
public are cautioned against worthless limitations.
Every genuine article Is stamped 'Holmes'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. E. & j. HOLMES.
