under this process, and it is unlike an,
other that we have seen. The compost

tiber of the cloth and in drying soIidife
and protects the cloth from deteriora

il Is believed il will last almost indefi
nitely This compound II impaired tc
silk gives il q beautiful rich lustre and
when applied to light cotton goods gives
lit soft finish and makes the pretticsi
light waterproof goods that we have ever
seen.
Noe only is the process far in advance
of anything Of like character, bat the
work now being produced BY this plant
il not equaled by any product within
the same range of prices on the market.
The coats have been thoroughly tested.
The composition will not rub off, it will
not stick, and there is absolutely no
possibility Of getting a drop of water
through It without tearing or cutting the
cloth The seams are locked and a
standing reward is offered to anyone who
will soak or press drop Of water through
where the garments are stitched. In
other garments, some Of them, this is
not true.
Most important Of the good features
Of these goods is the fact that the COM
position will not yield to acids nor to
hot water, and the life Of the garment
is without parallel The wearing
quality is its highest recommendation
The coats can be made in different
shades, and are now being made in
tans and grays. They are not stiff, but
hang loosely and gracefully, with a
soft, smooth finish
These are the goods that have already
been accepted by the custom, repeating
orders having already been made, and
as stated before orders are now being
booked for early and fall deliveries at

water and thoroughly steriIized without
damage to the goods
A number Of experiments have been
made in window shades, aprons, and
the Old National Bank has new water
proof awning made in this factory. /
Baby napkins Of this process are very
popular wherever shown. All Of these
articles are pronounced first-cIass by
everyone who has seen them. Some
Of them are declared to be without an
equal on ihe market.

eak, the composition not to rub off
ind not to stick and the garment to be

market.
