HOLINESS IMPROVED SEAMLESS
hA WHALEB0NE
g K r r. T !

No article in our 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 VI since, experimenting and made almost every
thing that could be imagined and used every article
known to obtain the desired elasticity and submitted our
experiment to the judgement of ladies competent to form
opinion upon such an article We found that all kinds
of sarched goods and cotton cord cotton wire as
it called could not be used, because when pressed
of their proper shape they would that shape
or other words they would remain the same position
shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into. Upon the application of Whalebone found that
it required very careullyseeoted quail y that the
size length their position in the skirt and fact all its
proportions particularly important. We were sue
cossful in producing Bone Skirt which nearly
every objection, and pronounced by the best Judges
could find perfectly adapted to the of the la
dies. As advertised them for sale, (snd we
the first to do it,. the demand for the Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became so much greater than
chinery able to supply that and sewing ma
chimes put into operation and the market flooded
with goods of different matrials 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 Whalebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and styles
propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
APPLIED To ANY OTHER GOODS, why the SEAM
LESS WHALEB0NE sKtRT is superior to any and all
other kinds and the only article which equally adapted
to the parnr the and the crowd 70 say nothing of
experience in bring the article to perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies, from the time
first offered them for sale call particular attention
rafuly selected and pre- AIRED by direction and
ON actual experiences cloth, which is light and
strong, is expressly for this purpose-the aper-
lures wets for the bones and cords form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them SEAMLESS so that Ia
dies will not he annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
flying out as they certainly DO in the seged skirts, rom
tn constant pressure of the bones upon them.
The last and greatest improvement made AMI the only
objection has been obtaio article with
sufficient stiffness and elasticity and at the same time
yielding and pabe to keep the dress in its proper shape
below the bones To accomplish this object have this
successfully introduced series of elastic cords
made from the only thing that be produced, which
has this desirable elasticity and will and keepits
proper place whea pressed out of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods and twisted in manu-
featuring that they will not roll or curl up when washed
In fact present article the perfect every
rt,cular that be found
We prepared to supply al who wish for the best
AID from past experience, and by good judges have been
pronou ced the most desirable goods in the market The
public cautioned against worthless mutations
Every genuine article stamped Holiness 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.
