No article in our estimation is important, or has
been much needed TO give graceful 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 more
than since, experimenting and made almost every
thing that could be imagined, and used every article
known obtain the desTed elasticity and submitted our
experiment to the judgement Of ladies competent to form
opinion upon such article We found that all kinds
of starched goods ana cotton cord wire cord as
it is called could not be used, because when pressed ont
of their proper shape they would hot recover that shape
in other words. they would remain in the same position
shape they might under any circumstances pressed
into. Upon the application Of Whalebone found that
it required a very carefuy-seleced quail ~; that the
size length their position in the skirt and in fact all its
proportions particularly important We were sue
ccssfu in producing Bone Skirt which over came nearly
every objection, and was pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted the wants Of the la
dies. AS soon advertised them for sale, land we
the first to do i). the demand for the SeamIeess
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than our ma
chnery able to supply, that sewers and sewing ma
chimes put into operation, 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
consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and tvles
we propose few considerations WHICH CANNOT mn
APPLIED TO ANY OTHER GOODS, why the SEAM
LESS WHALEBONE SKIRT is superior to any and all
other kinds, and the only article which equally adapted
to the parar the street and the crowd To say nothing of
experience in bringing The article to perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies' from the time
first offered them for sale, call particular attention
to a few important considerations Our bones are
csrsfuy selected and prepared by direction and
fom our actual experience; cloth, which is light and
strong, is expressly for this purpose-he amer
lures wets for the bones and woven or form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them seamless so that la
dies viii not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out as 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 overcome has been to obtain an article with
suihcent stiffness and elasticity and at the same time
yielding and pabe to keep the dress in 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 its
proper place when pressed out of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods, and SO twisted in manu-
featuring that they VIII not roll curl up when washed
In fact we present article the nearest perfect in every
Particular that can be found.
We are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
aud from past experience and by good judges have been
pronounced the most desirable goods in themarket The
public are cautioned against worthless limitations
Every genuine article is stamped "E. & j. Holiness
Improved Seamless Whaebone skirn and may be found
by the trade in the hands of many the largest obng
houses in the city. E&J TIOINFS
