HOLINESS. IMPROVED SEAMLESS
HI WHALEB0NE

S K / r II
No article in estimation is important, or has
been SO much needed to give graceful and elegant form
to ladys dress, skirt which will in every paZcuar
and without serious objections accomplish this desirable
object. To produce such article commenced more
than since, experimenting, 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 oflsdies competent form
opinion upon such article. We found that all kinds
Of sarched goods and cotton cord cord as
it called could be used because when pressed ont
of their proper shape they would that shape
or in other words they would remain in the same position
shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into. Upon the application of Whalebone we found that
it required very carefuly-selected dual y that the
size length, their position in the SKIRT and in fact all its
proportions were particularly important. We were sue
ccssfu in producing Bone Skirt which came nearly
every ehecdon and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the wants of the la
dies. As soon advertised them for sale land we
were the first to do it). the demand for the Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than our
chnery was able to supply that and sewing
chimes were 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
Jeci as we should suppose but to SELL And these
all called Whalebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and styles
We propose a 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 parnr the and the To say nothing of
experience in bringing The article perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies' from the time
to few more important considerations Our bones are
carefully selected and prepared by direction and
from our Actual experiences our cloth, which light and
strong, is woven expressly for this purposehe aper-
tures wets for the bones and cords form
ed in the cloth, which renders them seamless so that la
dies viii not be annoyed by stitches breaking bones
flying out as 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 pable keep the dress 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 twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect every
Particular that be found.
We are prepared to supply all who WISH for the best,
and from past experiences and by good judges have been
ced the most desirable goods in the market The
public are cautioned against worthless limitations.
Every genuine article is stamped Holiness Improved
Seamless Nhalebone Skirt" and may be found by the
trade in the hands of many of the largest obbing houses
in the city. e. & j. HOLMES
