A Stylish and Desirable Model
FOR THE LARGER FIGURES
Many women with a well developed figure find it extremely difficult to
secure a corset that meets with every requirement and to secure style and
comfort at the same time. .
A stout figure frequently has better foundation for the production of
perfect figure lines than those of a slighter form but such effects can only
bo secured by wearing the proper corset that is designed for this style of
figure. Faulty figure lines are quickly improved or eliminated altogether
by wearing a Henderson Front Laced Corset, jstyle 968, a model that is es-
peeially designed for the full figure. -
This model is firmly boned; has a medium ibust; the clasp is flexible at
the top, thereby preventing uncomfortable pressure on th bust; the venti
lated back section made of a soft mesh material prevents pressure on the
Aiinal column from heavy boning or bulky seams so objectionable in soma
front-laced models; the ventilated tongue under the front lacing prevents
the protrusion of flesh or clothing and elastic sections in the skirt "give and
take" with every body position. The material is a fine quality American
could; trimmed with beautiful silk figured embroidery; has three pair high
grade supporters. This stylish and satisfactory corset is made up to size 40.

Lake Chelan will meet a very pro

some years stockmen from outside

the National Forest wast of Methow
valley, but as this valley became more
and more settled, this range was
needed by the settlers and according
to Forest Service regulations, they
must be given first choice. As a re
sult, it became necessary to reduce
tho range to outside stockmen, or
else compel them to drive their bands
to the higher altitudes in the north
ern part of the National forest. This
was a long, hard drive, often causing
lenvy shrinkage in merchantile stick.
