No article in estimation is so important, or has
been so much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to ladys dress, as skirt which will every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object. To produce such article, commenced more
than We since, experimenting and made almost every
thing that could be imagined and used every article
known obtain the desred elasticity and submitted
experiment to the judgement of ladies competent to form
opinion upon such article. We found that all kinds
of sarched goods and cord wire cord as
it called could not be used because when pressed out
of their proper shape they would that shape
in other words they would remain the same position
shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into. Upon the application of Whaebone found that
it required very caretuly-seected quail iy that the
size length their position in the skirt and fact all its
proportions particularly important We
ecssful in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every objection, and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the wants of the la
dies As advertised them for sale and we
the first to do it,. the demand orthe Seamless
Whaebone Skirt became much greater than our ma.
chnery was able to supply that and sewing
chimes were put into operations 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, butto sell And these
all called Whaebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds aud styles
we propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
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 panr the street and the crowd To say nothing
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 few important considerations Our bones are
carefully selected and prepared by own direction and
from our actual experiences coth which is light and
strong is woven expressly for this purpose-the aper-
tures wes for the bones and cords are woven or 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 sewed skirts from
the constant pressure Of the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement made and the only
objection to has been obtain an article with
sufficient stiffness and elasticity and at the same time
yielding and pabe to keep the dress 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 recover and keep its
proper place when pressed of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods and so twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll up when washed
In fact we present article the perfect in every
particular that be found.
we are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
and 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 "Iolmes's 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. 4 j. HOLMES
