HHERE1 We have given you the
I story of Fall Corset styles In one
brief sentence. You, mndnm, who
are posted in fashion matters will real
ize its truth at once. You will likewise
see that Gossard Model "F" carries
out Fashion's dictum with remarkable
faithfulness.
THE
Gossatd Corsets
"They Lace in Front."
These arc the corsets which nre built
according to the tenets of the "Now
School" of corset design. Through
"Ne( School" methods every scam and
goro is placed with scientific precision
ovcry bone is located with the ac
curacy that obtains in adjusting the
balance wheel of a fine watch.
Evorv Gossard Corset is bon d with
Electrobone, a boning which in resil
iency and strength excels whalebone. The bnsis of Electrobone is
high carbon clock-spring steel, which is the only quality considered ad
equate to mould tho figure to the exquisto Gossard lin s. And the only
Suality that can bo rust-proofed without destroying its flexibility,
iut in commending the Gossard Corset to you, we particularly call your
attention to the fact thnt in the Gossaru we are showing not merely n
model for every figure, but a "long model" for women of every height
and build. This is an innovation that you will appreciate.
The Gossard is tho American modification of the original French front
lacing corset. Its constructive principle is; that btauty and hygiene
should have their closest unio i in a corset that essays perfection. The
beautiful sculptured back and tho adjustable front-lacing features of the
Gossard are the product of this principle.
It is the only corset that ha3 the unqualified approval of physicians.
Instead of injurious pressure, it affords support for tho organs,compols a
correct standing position and carriage, and imparts that poise which
never fails to elicit the admiration of the beholder. The proof of the
corset is in the fitting.
We extend a coraial invitation to very lady in this vicinity to visit our
store this week and meet Miss Ella McLemoro tho Company's export
corsetiere, who has been trained in accordance with the New School of
corset design and construction. Sho will bo pleased to show you the
corset which is exactly adapted for your figure.
