HENDERSON Habit Back Corsets 3 k FRONT LACED ” T HK front laced models are the culmination of the latest and best ideas in corset fashion. They re model the figure, giving it a perfectly moulded back, giviug it lines of grace and symmetry and the long, ta pering curves which are so artistically l>eautiful. They reduce the full figure, giving it the flattened front and slender hip effects. They are absolutely hygienic and have the endorsement of the leading physicians and dressmakers. We call special at teution to the model illustrated which is made in two lengths, high bust, for the tall figure, and medium bust, for the shorter waisted stout figure. This model is extremely long over the back and hips- The extra lacing in the back from the waist-line down permits an absolutely jierfect adjustment over the back and assists further in keeping the hips in perfect subjection, thus giving the so-called hipless figure. We carry the front laced corsets in a varied line of materials at prices ranging from $2.50 to $12. W e cordially invite the ladies of our city and vicinity to visit our corset depart ment and inspect these most exquisite models. Consultation and fitting free. Rees-W allace C o .
