Proof Shirt Front is a move in the right dlreo-
tion. 1t is n bold stroke at the wash-tub evil.
1t is, in word, cleanliness without toll. Every
1t he saves trouble, vexatton, time, and money;
and, once in order, is always in order. The high
price of muslin and linen need not trouble him,
as he can do without them. Think of no more
washing, starching, and ironing of white shirts,
and TO preserve better appearance than before;
One Will last for months; thus you may travel
to Paris and back with no incumbrance OF
white shirts: and when your Front becomes
soiled you have but to turn to your wasn-sIaud
and restore it to its snowy whiteness with a
little soap and water. 1t is but minutes work.
The Water Proof Shirt is manufactured by
McCurdy, No. A South Third street, second
story, and is sold by furnishing stores at 20
cents each.
