NEW SKIRT FOR 1866.
THE GREAT INVENTION OF THE AGE IN
HOOP SKIRTS.

j. ". Bradley's Nea0 Patent Dupler
Elliptic (or double) Spring ,Shtrt.
This invention consists of Duplex Tor twoj
Elliptic Pure Refined Steel Springs, ingeni-
ously braided tightly and firmly together,
edge to edge, making the toughest, most fiex-
ible, elastic and Durable Spring ever used.
They seldom BEND or BREAK. like the Single
Springs, and consequently preserve their per-
feet and beautiful shape more than twice as
long as any Single Spring Skirt that ever
has or can be made.
The wonderful fiexibility and great comfort
and pleasure to any Lady wearing the Du-
plcx Elliptic Skirt will be experienced partic.
ularly in all crowded Assemblies, Operas
Carriages, Railroad Cars, Church Pews, Arm
Chairs, for Promenade and House Dress, as
the Skirt can be folded when in use to occu-
py q small place as easily and conveniently
as q silk or muslin dress.
A Lady having enjoyed the pleasure, com
fort and great convenience of wearing the
Duplex Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for a sim
gle day will never afterwards willingly dis
pense with their use. For Children, Misses
and Young Ladies they are superior to all
others.
The Hoops are covered with ply twisted
Single yarn covering which is used on all
Single Steel Hoop Skirts. The three bottom
rods on every Skirt are also Double Steel,
and twice or double covered to prevent the
covering wearing off the rods when dragging
down stairs, stone steps, &c, &c, which they
are constantly subject to when in use.
All are made the new and elegant Cord
ed Tapes, and are the best quality in every
part, giving to the wearer the most graceful
and perfect Shape possible, and are Inques-
tionably the lightest most desirable, COM
Portable and economical Skirt ever made.

CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY.

1t having come to our knowledge that i'm
itations of The American Watch have been
put upon the market in great number, Calcu-
lated by their utter worthlessness 10 injure
the reputation of our genuine products, TO
protect our own interests aud the public from
imposition we again publish the trade marks
by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The First has the name
"AMEBICAN WATCH CO.. Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The Second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The Third has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass" en-.
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
ican Watch Co painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The fOurh has the name
"WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial.
All the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold in gold or silver
cases, rs may be required.
1t is hardly possible for us to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually inscribed
with names so nearly approaching our own
| as to escape the observation of the unaccus.
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the "Union Watch Co, of Boston, Mass
no such company existing. Some are
named the "Soldier's Watch" to be sold as
our Fourth or Wm. Ellery style, usually
known as the ''Soldier's Watch" Others are
named the "Appleton Watch Co :" Others
the p. S BartLFY," instead of our ''P S Bart.
| lett; = besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritabe productions of the American
! Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particu
lary soldiers, against buying certain articles

trated papers as Army Watches" 1Officer!
