8 x z II


No article in estimation is important, 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 article we commenced more
than since, experimenting, and made almost every
thing that could be imagined, and used every article
known obtain the desired eastcty and submitted our
experiment judgement of ladies competent to form
opinion upon such article. We found that all kinds
of sarched goods aud cotton cord cotton wire cord
it is called, could not be used because when pressed out
of their proper shape they would lot recover that shape
or in other wonls they would remain in the position
or shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application of Whalebone found that
it required very oarefuly-seleeed quality; that the
size, length their position in the SKIRT and in fact, all its
proportions particularly important We were sue
cessul in producing Bone Skirt which ovefcame nearly
every objection, and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the wants of the la
dies As soon advertised them for sale, (and we
the first to do it, the demand for the Seamless
Whslebone Skirt became much greater than our ma.
chnery able to supply that sewers and sewing ma
chimes were put into operation and the market flooded
with goods of different materials and put together with
Jout any regard TO size form, comness any other OBJ
ect, as we should suppose but 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 SEAM
LESS NHALEB0NE SKIRT is superior to any and all
other kinds, and the only article which equally adapted
20 the paror the street and the crowd To say nothing of
our experience in bringing The article perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies' from the time
first offered them for sale we call particular attention
carefully selected and prepared by direction
from our actual experiences eoh which is light and
strong is expressly for this purpose-the aper-
lures, wes for the bones and cords form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them seamless that la
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and 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 same time
yielding and psble, to keep the dress 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 keeps
proper place when pressed out of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods, and twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the nearest perfect in every
Particular that be found.
We are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
aad from past experience 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 ''E. & j. Holiness
Improved Seamless Whaebone Skirt" and may be found
by the trade in the hands of many of the largest obbng
houses in the city. E. & J. HOLMES.
