We have been making Kabo corsets for nearly forty years and wc adopt and embody every
improvement of every year. We have built an enormous business arid an enviable reputation
making the best corsets is the only way to keep these things going.
Here are the principal reasons for the wonderful successof Kabo corsets.
When we make a corset we make it with the idea of our whole output being judged by the
value given by that one corset. This applies to every Kabo corset, from the $i kind to the $5
kind. It pays to buy as good a corset as you can afford. .
We put in the very best materials for the particular purpose in every case.
We maintain an elaborate style department which gathers advance style news in time to be
the first out with the new ideas.
We guarantee satisfaction to every woman who buys a Kabo corset and we make good on
this guarantee in the most prompt and cheerful way.
And now the Live Model ideal
We long ago realized that it was not possible to rnodel u corset on a stiff dummy figure and get a
corset that would be best for, the human form. And so we introduced the method of gathering together
living models; women of all types, thin, fleshy, short, tall and all combinations of these and on each model
we fitted and fashioned a corset from which all other corsets would be made for that type of figure.
It did for the woman who paid up to $5 for her corsets what the fashionable and exclusive corsetierc
had done for the wealthy customer who paid $25 for her corsets.
And the Kabo Live Model Corset became famous!
