No garment is so essential for the well-being bf the
women of our country as a good corset.
The name "Gossard" on the inside of the corset guar
antees the increased efficiency of any woman who
works, whether it be house work, office work or any
of the many duties that women will cheerfully and
uncomplainingly assume.
; ? ? ' j ...
A Gossard Corset is your guarantee of health;
your safeguard of an all-day comfort and your assur
ance of a trim appearance.
In a Gossard syou'll never experience that deadly
3 o'clock fatigue or that tired and aching feeling in
your back.
Leading physicians and surgeoris everywhere are pre
scribing Gossards for their patients as a protection
against Hernia, Prolapse of Abdomen, and other
equally dangerous complications.
If you have never experienced the priceless comfort
and the protection to your health that a Gossard af
fords, then we urge you to try this Front Lacing
Corset.

then, if possible, come to our store and be fitted
by our expert corsetieres. Out-of-town customers
