No article in estimation is so important or has
been so much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to ladys dress, skirt which will in every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such article, we commenced more
than year since, experimenting and made almost every
thing that could be imagined, and used every artc
known to Obtain the desired elasticity submitted our
experiment to the judgement of ladies' competent to form
an opinion upon such an article We found that all kinds
Of starched goods and cotton cord wire cord as
1t is called could not be used because when pressed out
OF their proper shape they would recover that shape
in other words they would remain in the same position
or they might under any circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application of Whalebone we found that
it required very careiuy-selected quail v that the
size LENGTH their position in the skirt and in fact all its
proportions were particularly important We sue
cessfu in producing Bone Skirt which eIcame nearly
every thecton and was pronounced by the best Judges
we could find, perfectly adapted the wants of the la
dies. As soon advertised them for sale land we
were the first to do it, the demand for the Seamless
Whaieoone Skirt became so much greater than our ma
chnery was able to supply, that and sewing ma
cnnes were put into operation, and the market flooded
with goods of different Materials and mt together viii
cut any regard to size FORM confines any other oh
ject as we should suppose, but SELL And these were
all called Whalebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and tgles
we propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
APPLIED TO ANY OTHER GOODS why The SEAM
LESS WHALEB0NE SKIRT is superior to any and ali
other kinds and the only article which equally adaped
10 street the crowd.
our experience in bringing he article to perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies' from the time
we first offered hemor SALE call particular attention
to few more important considerations Our bones are
carefully selected and prepared by own direction and
from actual experience; cloth which is light and
strong, is expressly for this purpose-he aper-
lures wes for the bones and cords are woven or
ed in the cloth, which renders them seamless so that la
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out as they certainly do in the se@ed skirts rom
the constant pressure of the bones upon them.
THE last and greatest improvement made, and the onlv
objection to has been to obtain an article with
sufficient stiffness and elasticity and at the same time
yielding and pabe keep the dress its proper shane
below the bones. T0accompsh 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 recover and keen
proper place when prtssed out of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods and twisted in manu-
featuring that they will roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect in every
particular that can be found.
We have greatly ucreasen facilities for making the
goods and hope to be able to supply the wants of all who
want the best and from past experience and by good
judges have been the most desirable goods in
the market
