R0N TON PATENT FLEXIBLE
SPRIN SKIRT

This invention entirely dispenses with the old
and dlsagreeabe manner of fastening by gum,
glue and rivets. and consists of new and useful
manner of securing the tapes and wires together
oy means of braid passing under and through the
tape and through and round the covering of the
wire, thereby forming knot, rendering it the
most perfect fastening vet discovered. The wire
used is made from the best Refined Watch Spring
Steel, and by the peculiar manner of rolling pro.
duces the necessary fexibility without sacrificing
any of the strength which it is we'll known a sin.
gle bar has over plurality of bars covering the
same surface.
The covering of the wire used in this skirt is
fine double thread cotton yarn, the tape a two
inch extra heavy solid edge. the pads or cover
ings of the ends of the hustle springs are the fin
est enamelled kid and with our new application
for acing the fronts, rendering the hustle springs
when worn the same as whole or continued
spring, thereby keeping the front of the skirt ft-
ting closely and neatly to the form.
The pleasure and comfort to lady wearing
this skirt will be experienced particularly in
Railroad Cars, Concert Halls, Church Pews, or
any crowded assemblies. This skirt when worn
can be compressed into as small space as any
ordinary house dress, without inconvenience.
4 lady who has woln one of our Flexible
Spring Skirts would not willingly dispense with
the use of them.
We claim that for superiority of materials it is
not excelled and for beauty of shape and dura-
bility it has no equal. After careful and thor
ough examination, the Bon Ton Patent Flexible
Spring Skirts are now being adopted and sold by
many of the leading houses throughout the coun-
try, among others that of A. T. Stewart & Co.
