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 THE CORSETS' 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, ond the same beautiful lines for which formerly $25 was cheerfully paid for only $3.50 doesn't it seem absurd to even think of onotlier 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 litter whose experience proved of valued aid in knowing the particular model for your style of figure? Hovent you sometimes wondered why some women hod such perfect poise, could stoop ond exercise without having a steel break ond 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 sense of the word, for there is nothing tawdry about it. The materials ore the best there are on the market for the money. The model illustrated conforms to the present styles ond the workmanship shows the Gossard precision of details and accuracy of boning. Boned with Electric boning, which is as strong as steel, yet more pliable than whalebone. Hero is on 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 ond see for yourself. ' Wilcox Department Store, North Platte, Nebraska.
