No article in cur estimation is so important or has
been so much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to ladys dress, as skirt which will in every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object. To produce such article, commenced more
than We ar since exDernenting 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
an opinion upon such article We found THAT all kinds
of sarched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord
it called could not be used because when pressed out
of their proper shape they would not that shape
or in other words they would remain n the position
shape they might under envy circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application of Whaebone found that
it required very careulyseected quail iy; that the
size, length, their position in the SKIRT and in fact all its
proportions were particularly important. We
cessul in producing Bore Skirt which came nearly
every objection, and was pronounced by the best Judges
could lind perfectly adapted the wants Of the la
dies As soon as advertised them for sale, (Rnd we
were the first to do t). the demand for the Seamless
Whaebone Skirt became so much greater than our ma
chnery 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 as we should suppose but to 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 WHALEB0NE aKtRT is superior to any and all
other kinds aud the only article which equally adapted
to the psrr the street and the crowd TO say nothing of
our experience in bring The article perfection and
the unanimous appreciation If the ladies' from the time
we rst oered hemOr SAFE, we cal particular attention
to few important considerations Our bones are
carefully selected and prepared by direction
ON our actual experience; CLOTH which is light and
strong is woven expressly for this purpose-the aper
lures or wets for the bones and cords form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them seamless so that la
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out they certainly DO in the se@ed skirts rom
the cons ant pressure of the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement made and the only
objection to overcome has been to obtain article with
sufficient Stiffness and elasticity, and same time
yielding and pahe keep the dress in its proper shane
below the bones. To accompsh this object have this
season successfully introduced series of elastic cords
made from the only thing that be produced,

proper place when pre- ssed ont of shape This cord is
made expressly fer goods, and twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll OF curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect in every
particular that can be found.

goods and hope to be able TO supply the all who
want the best and from past experience by good
judges have been pronou ced the most desirable goods in
