lions OF the arms cannot interfere with the fit
of the body of the shirt, thereby relieving all
strain and wear at shoulders and elbows

penders and shoulder seams in outer garments.
Fifth-The shoulders and yoke is slope curved
and the back so improved as to give the most
room where IL Is necessary, producing q Clean
