Special Showing of Vanta Garments
In connection with Baby Weekwe are making a special showing of Vanta gar
ments the pinless, buttonless kind. Just think what this means your baby being
clad in all its wee little undergarments without one clumsy button or hurtful pin
Nothing to rufc against the delicate flesh and. fret baby, nothing but what will give
real comfort to the little one and! real safety and health, too. We have a fine as
sortment of Vanta baby garments, including vests, bands, binders, diapers gowns and
skirts, all tied with cute little bows of twistless tape.
VESTS
Vanta vests are double
'over the abdomen, where
baby needs protection from
w ea t h e r changes. They
fasten quickly and easily
with tape bows. Materials
are of the finest qualities, in
weights for all seasons cot
. ton, merino, -worsted, silk
and wool, stlkoline and all
silk. - ;
BANDS
Vanta bands are used
after abdominal bands are
no longer needed. "They can
be worn under the vest in
cold weather or when needed
to protect the baby. They
may. be removed when neces
sary without disturbing
other garments, as the
shoulder straps are finished
with tape. -
! i
i
GOWNS
V anta knit gowns have no
pins, jno buttons they have
the new flexible sleeves
which are comfortable and
'which give baby's arms plen
ty of , room for action. They
are made without shoulder
seams. The fabric is smooth
ly woven, in extra soft fin
ish, and is very flexible. In
infants', 1 and 2-year sixes.
Light and heavy weight.
DIAPERS
The Vanta diaper is pin
less land buttonless. It is
especially shaped and folds
with; extra thickness where
needed, yet without harmful
bulklness or tightness that
might be injurious to baby.
- i
I
BINDERS
Vanta abdominal binders
are made of the softest elas
tic wool : they go around
baby's abdomen twice and
fasten simply, easily and
securely at the sides with
three bows of twistless tape.
Firmly knitted garments
that give the needed sup
port, yet yield enough for
expansion.
SKIRTS
Vanta knit Gertrude skirts
are perfect garments of soft
cotton and merino. They pro
tect baby from being chilled.
Alade of soft fabric that is
very absorbent. These skirts
tie at the shoulders and can
be removed without bavins'
to undress baby.
