- nhALEbDNE
S K / r T
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 every particular
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such an article, commenced more
imam year SINCE experimenting and made almost every
thing that could be imagined, used every article
known to obtain the desired elasticity and submitted our
experiment to the judgement of ladies competent form
an opinion upon such article We found that all kinds
OF sarched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord as
1t is called, could not be used because when pressed out
OF ther proper shape they would that shape
or in other words they would remain the same position
or shape they might under any circumstances be
into Upon the application of Whaebone we found that
1t required very carefully selected dual ty; that the
size, LENGTH their position in the SKIRT and fact
proportions were particularly important We were sue
cossful in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every objection, and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the wants of the Ia
dies. As soon advertised them for sale, land we
were the first to do it, the demand for the Seamless
Whaebone Skirt became much greater than our ma.
chinery able to supply, that 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
ject, should suppose but to SELL And these were
all called WhaleboDe 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 SKIRT is superior to any and all
other kinds, and the only article which sequaly adapted
to the paror the street and the crowd To say nothing of
our experience in bringing The article TO perfection, and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies' from the time
we first offered hemlfor sale, call particular attention
to few more important considerations Our bones are
carefully selected and prepared by direction and
from our actual experiences CLOTH which is light and
strong is expressly for this purpose-the aper-
tures wets for the bones and cords or form
ed In the CLOTH which renders them seamless so that Ia.
dies will notbe 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 overcome has been to obtain article with
sufficient stiffness and elasticity, and the same time
yielding and plabe to keep the dress It's 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 recover and keep its
proper place when pressed out Of shape This cord Is
made expressly for goods and so twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll curl up when washed
In fact we present an article the perfect in every
Particular that can be found.
We are prepared to supply all who wish for the best
and from past experience, aud 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 "llomesis Improyed
Seamless Whalebone Skirt" and may be found by Inc
trade In the hands Of many Of the largest obbng houses
