ou economical women who buy Coirsets for a dollar
or two
Don't you know that's
Let us tell you about a
false economy?
REAL bargain.
When front laced corsets were first placed on the market at
$25 they were purchased only by the millionaire class. Later
when the $15 corset made its appearance women sought them
because, even though considered a luxury, they were recog
nized as the one corset that combined style and healthful
comfort. Then when the $12, $8 and $5 Gossard was. offered
many women eagerly accepted the opportunity to secure the
corset that until then had seemed beyond their reach.
G
NOW, when you can get true Gossard principals of corsetry, with the distinctive features of the
Gossard front lacing, the habit back' and the hygienic comfort combined, and the same beautiful lines
for which formerly $25 was cheerfully paid for only $3.50 doesn't it seem absurd to even think of
another make?
Suppose you HAVE felt that $2 was your limit to pay for a corset. Be honest Has it been
satisfactory? Has it kept the lines that looked good to you when you bought it? . Has it worn well?
Has it been comfortable? Was it fitted by an expert corset fitter whose experience proved of valued
aid in knowing the particular model for your style of figure? Havent you sometimes wondered why
some women had such perfect poise, could stoop and exercise without having a steel break and dig into
them, why their clothes fitted so well, especially why their backs looked so good? Didn't it ever dawn on
you that it is the Gossard that does all this and more?
A Gossard at $3.50 is true economy, but it's not cheap in the true senso of the word, for there
is nothing tawdry about it The matorials are the best there are on the market for the money.
The model illustrated conforms to the present styles and the workmanship shows the Gossard
precision of details nnd accuracy of boning. Boned with Electric boning, which is as strong as steel, yet
more pliable than whalebone.
Here is an opportunity waiting for you. Be fitted by one of our experienced corsetieres who is
acquainted with every detail of corset fitting from a fashionable and hygienic standpoint The same
courteous attention given to the $3.50 fitting as to a $25 one. Other models from $5 to $25. Come
and see for yourself.
