No article in our estimation is important or has
been so much needed to give graceful elegant form
to aadys dress, as skirt which will in every particular
and with 4 serious objections accomplish this desirable
object To produce such article, commenced more
than year since, experimenting and made almost ever
thing that could be imagined, and used every artfeis
known to obtain the desired elasticity submitted our
experiment to the judgement Of ladies competent to form
an opinion upon such article We found that all kinds
OF starched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord a.
it called, could not be used when pressed ont
of their proper shape they would that shape
or in other words they would remain in the position
shape they might under any circumstances be pressed
into Upon the application of Whalebone we found that
1t required very careiuy-selected quail iy that the
size length, their position in the SKIRT and in fact all its
proportions particularly important. We were sue
ccssfu in producing Bone Skirt which oveIcae nearly
every Injection, and was pronounced by the judges
could Ind as perfectly adapted the wants of the la
des AS soon as We advertised them for sale land we
Were the first to do . the demand for the Seamless
Mhaeoone SKIRT became so much greater than our ma.
ehnery was able to supply, that sewers and sewing ma
es we're put into operation, and the market flooded
WIN soous VI uneent materials, and put together With
out any regard to size form, comness or any other oh
all called Whalebone Skirts
In consequence of this multiplicity of kinds and STYLES
we propose few considerations, WHICH CANNOT BE
APPLaED 70 ANY OTHER GOODS, why the SEAM
LESS WHALEB0NE SKIRT is superior to anv and an
other kinds and the only article which is equally adaptd
to the paror the street and the To say nothing of
our experience in bring The article perfection and
the unanimous appreciation Of the ladies', from the time
we first offered them for sale cal particular attention
TO lew more important considerations Our bones are
crefuy selected and prepared By own direction and
ON our actual experiences cloth, which light and
strong is woven expressly for this purposehe aper
lures, or wes for the bones and woven or form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them seamless so that la
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
h2g out as they certainly do in the sewed skirts rom
tn Cons ant pressure of the bones upon them
The last and greatest improvement made and the only
objection to overcome has been obtain an article with
sufficient stiffness and elasticity, and the same time
yielding and pable to keep the dress its proper shane
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 keepits
proper place when pressed out of shape This cord is
made expressly for goods and so twisted in manu-
iacturng that they will not roll curl up when washed
In ac 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 and by good judges have been
the most desirable goods in the market The
public are cautioned against worthless limitations
Every genuine article is stamped "Homes's Improved
Seamless Whaebone Skirt" and may be found by the
trade in the hands of many of the largest obbng houses
