The Longer I Wear Them the
Better I Like Them
This is what we were told by one of our most par
ticular customers recently in reference to Henderson
Corsets. ' .
We are not surprised, as we frequently hear words
of commendation regarding these splendid corsets.
They are thoroughly good in every particular and
are so conscientiously constructed that their life is be:
yound tihlat of the ordinary corset.
Among the many styles that we have recently placed
in stock and which we offer discriminating buyers, is
'Henderson Coi-sets, Style 69(3; a particularly satisfac
tory model for those of average to rather stout pro
portions; has elastic lacings in thevskirt so that same is
self-adjusting to every figure requirement; has a medi um
bust; handsomely trimmed with embroidery and
hiis a graduated clasp which effectively supports the
figure; tlhree pairs strong hose supporters; made of an
excellent quality eoutil of double thickness over ab
domen whMi gives added strength and wear to the
corst. Price $3.00. We most cordially recommend
this model. ...
