No article in estimation is so important, or has
been 50 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 article commenced more
than year since, experimenting, and made almost every
thing that could be imagined, and used every article
known to obtain the desired elasticity submitted our
experiment to the judgement of ladies competent to form
an opinion upon such an article. We found that all kinds
Of sarched goods and cotton cord cotton wire cord as
called could not be used when pressed out
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 Whaebone we found that
it required very carefully quail ~; that The
size, LENGTH their position in the skirt and in fact its
proportionswer particularly important. We we're sue
cessnl in producing Bo,e Skirt which ovecane nearly
every objection, and was pronounced by the
we could find as perfectly adapted the wants of the la.
dies. As soon advertised them for sale (and we
were the first to do it, the demand f1rthe Seamless
Whalebone Skirt became much greater than our ma
chinery was able to supply that and sewing ma
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
Jec as We should suppose, but SELL And these were
all called Whalebonc Skirts
In consequence of this multpcitysof 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 is equally adapted
to the parlor hestreet and the crowd To saw nothing of
our experience in bring The article to perfection and
the unanimous appreciation If the ladies' from the time
we first offered themor SALE call particular attention
to few more important considerations Our bones Are
carefully selected and prepared by own direction and
tom our actual experience CLOTH which is light and
strong is woven expressly for this purpose-the amer
lures, wells, for the bones and cords are woven or form
ed in the CLOTH which renders them seamless so that Ia
dies will not be annoyed by stitches breaking and bones
yng out as they certainly do in the se@ed skirts from
the constant pressure of the bones upon them
The last and greatest improvement made and the onIv
objection to overcome has been TO obtain an article with
sufficient Stiffness and elasticity and at the same time
yielding and pable to keep the dress its proper shane
peoW 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
mas ms desirable elasticity and viii recovs. and keen m
proper place Then 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 we present article the nearest perfect in
Particular that can be found. ~
We have greatly increasen facilities for making the
goods and hope to be able supply the wants Of ali who
want the best and from past experience and by good
judges have been the most desirable goods in
the1narket
Every article stamped Holiness Improved Seamless
Whaebone Skirt and may be found by the trade in the
hands Oh many Of the largest obbng houses in the city
