HOOP. SKIRTS.
THE DUPLEX ELLIPTIC (OB DOUBLE) STEEL
•SPRING.
.J. I. &J. 0. WEST, No. 97 CHAMBERS STREET,
- NEW TORE,
Are tie owners of the patent and exclusive manufac
turer* of this,
J. W. BRADLEY’S
PATENTED DUPLEX ELLIPTIC STEEL SPRING
SKIRTS. r
Phis invention consists of Duplex (or two) Elliptic
Steel Springs* ingeniously braided tightly and firmly
together, edge to edge, making the toughest* mosteias*
tic* flexible, and durable spring ever ujed; enabling the
wearer, in consequence of its great elasticity and flexi
bility, to place and fold the shirt when in use as easily
and with the same convenience as a silk or muslin
dress. It entirely obviates and silences the only objec
tion to hoop skirts, viz: the annoyance to the wearer
as well as the public especially in crowded assemblies,
carriages, railroad oars, church pews, or in any crowded
place, from the difficulty of contracting them to occupy
ing a small space. This entirely removes the difficulty,
while giving the skirt the usual fall and symmetrical
form* and is the lightest and most stylish and graceful
appearance for the street, opera, promenade* or house
dress; A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort,
and great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Spring Skirt for a single day, will never afterward
Willingly dispense with the use of them.. They are the
best quality in every part, and by far the lightest, most
durable* comfortable, and economical skirt made. Mer*
chants will be supplied as above, and ladies in most
first-class retail stores in this city and throughout the
different States.
