is a matter of serious consideration with most wo
men. A corset that is perfect on one woman may be
an utter failure for her friend and create an unde
served prejudice against all corsets of that particu
lar make.' "While it is unfortunate that this condition
exists, we are frank to say that more than often the
fault, lies with the salesperson, who in her anxiety,
to make the sale loses sight of her customer's ulti
mate comfort and satisfaction. You will never be
advised in our corset section to buy any model that
is not perfectly suited to your own particular figure
requirements. This policy is religion with us and
to its strict adherence we believe is due the fact,
that a woman once fited in our 'corset section in
variably becomes a permanent patron. Mme. Ma
riette Corsets, custom tailored along French lines
for American , women in a wide variety of models to
suit every possible figure requirement. Sold by us
exclusively. Priced at $5.00 and up. See them.
