Re-Creation of Brian Kent
The Best Novel Harold Bell Wright Ever Wrote
The story is laid in the Ozark mountains, the
scene of "The Shepherd of the Hills."
The theme is one of the grandest a writer
could dream of, the growth of soul, of will
power, in a fugitive from justice and a victim
of the drink habit, and as the man awakens
to the nobler things of life comes a beautiful,
tender romance with Betty Jr., the most lovable
heroine of fiction. This book will surely reach
the million mark in sales and it deserves to
do so. GET YOUR COPY IMMEDIATELY!

Expert Corset
Fitting
By Graduate Corsetiere
Surgical Fittings
A SPECIALTY
Mrs. N. Hammond, our head cor
setiere, has just completed a course
of intensive study in surgical and
technical fitting at the Gossard
School of Corsetry. She has re
ceived the Gossard diploma of a
graduate corsetiere.
This diploma is awarded only after
the successful passing; of the most
rig-id examinations in all branches
of corset fitting.
Mrs. Hammond says that modern
hygienic corsetry as originated, de
veloped and perfected in the Gos
sard Front Lacing- Corsets is a
blessing to all womankind. She
says if more women will buy their
corsets with a full appreciation of
their importance, we will have few
er female invalids. To support her
statement she quotes the well
known medical authority, Alice S.
Cutler, M. D., who says, "No one
wants to be ill, and when women
realize that the constant wearing
of an ill-fitting corset helps to keep
our hospitals open, they will insist
on being properly fitted to corsets
instead of buying them hit or miss.
Most learned physicians now recog
nize the modern corset as a hy
gienically healthful garment and
one that is often the best means of
providing corrective support for
many bodily ailments."
The women of Portland may
well deem it a privilege to have
this service at their disposal.
