No article in estimation is so important, or has
been 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 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
experiment to the judgement of ladies competent to form
opinion upon such article We found that all kinds
Of sarhed goods and cotton cord or 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
shapethey might under any circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application of Whalebone found that
1t required very fuy-selected quality; that the
size length, their position in the skirt and in fact, all its
proportions were particularly important We were sue
ccssul in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every cbecton and was pronounced by the best Judges
could find, perfectly adapted to the wants of the la
dies. As advertised them for sale, (And
the first 10 do it,. the demand for the Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than our ma.
ehioery able TO supply, that sewers and sewing ma
chimes put into operation and the market flooded
with goods OF different Materials and put together With
out any regard to size, form. comness any other OBJ
ec az we should suppose but TO sell. And these were
III called Whaleb0ne Skirts
In consequence this multiplicity of kinds and styles
We propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
APPLIED TO ANY OTHER GOODS, why the SEAM
LtSs MHALEB0NE SKIRT is superior to any and all
other kind and the only article which is equally adapted
70 lne pA the street and the crowd To say nothing Of
our experience in bring The article TO perfection and
tne nnsnnoas appreciation # the ladies' from the time
70 rev more important considerations Our bones are
csrsny selected AND prepared by own direction and
from our actual experiencej cloth which IA light and
strong, is woven expressly for this purposethe amer
lures, wells, for the bones and cords are woven ~ s
ed In the CLOTH which renders them seamless a. t.ai
dies viii mt be annoyed by stitches breaking and ho1e
flying out they certainly do in the sewed sSrt s
the constant pressure Of the bones upon them nun
The last and greatest improvement made and the o,
objection TO overcome has been to obtain an artcis 2
suhcient stiffness and elasticity and at the same time
yielding and pabIe 70 keep the dressin It's proper hans
below the bones To accomplish this object we have ma
season successfully introduced series Of elastic cords
made from the only thing that be produced which
has this desirable elasticity, and will recover and keeps
proper place when pressed out Of shape This cord
made expressly for goods and twisted In manu-
featuring that they will not roll or curl up when washed
In fact present article the nearest perfect every
particular that be found.
