HOLINESS IMPROVED SEAMLESS
IN WHALERoNE
9 X r IT

No article in our estimation is important, or has
been much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to lady's dress, skirt which will in 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 to FORM
opinion upon such an article We found tat all KINDS
of srched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord as
1t called could not be used because when pressed out
of their proper shape they would that shape
or in other words they would remain in the same position
might under circumstances be pressed
into. Upon the application of Whalebnne found that
it required very careiulyselected quail iy that the
size length their position in the skirt and in fact all its
proportions were particularly important. We were sue
ccssful in producing Bone Skirt which nearly
every Chjecon and pronounced by the best Judges
could Ind, perfectly adapted to the wants of the la
dies AS advertised them for sale, land we
the first to do it, the demand for the Seamless
Nhalebone Skirt became much greater than cur ma
chneTy 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 confines any other OBJ
ject, 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 parr 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
we FIRST offered themOr sale call particular attention
to lew more important considerations Our bones are
crefuiy selected and prepared by direction and
ON actual experiences cloth, which is light and
strong, is woven expressly for this purpose-Lhe aper-
lures or wes for the bones and cords form
ed 10 the CLOTH which renders them seamless that la
dies viii not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out they certsiny DO in the sewed skirts rom
tn constant pressure of the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement made, and the only
objection to has been obtain article with
sufici mt 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 recover and keep
proper place when pressed out Of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods and twisted in
factuIng that they will not roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect in every
p4rtig olar that can be found.
We are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
and from past experience and by good judges have been
pronou ced the desirable goods in the market The
public cautioned gainst worthless limitations.
Every genuine article is stamped Holmess Improved
Seamless Whalebone Skirt" and may be found by the
trade in the hands Of Rany of the largest obbng houses
in the city. E. & j. HOLMES.
