“ We employ in all about 1,200 hands, over four-fifths of whom are women. They are mostly New England girls, and very many of them know how to teach school as well as to stitch a corset. We find it is only by employing intelligent help that we can secure the superior quality of work which we demand.
The cloth which we cut into corsets in a single year, if drawn out in a continuous line, would more than extend from Boston to Chicago. The Coraline which we use in stiffening these corsets would extend over half way around the earth. ”

“ This result is much better secured by Coraline than by whalebone or horn. No lady who has ever experienced the ease, comfort, elasticity and grace of action which come from wearing a Coraline Corset, will ever return to her former instrument of torture. ”

“ No starch or artificial sizing of any kind is used, but it is a development of the natural elastic quality already existing in the Coraline, and this elasticity is therefore permanent. Corsets boned with cord may be so loaded with starch or glue that they will seem stiff when new, but this will disappear after a few days’ use. Those stiffened with Coraline, on the other hand, grow more elastic with use. This is particularly noticeable in our bosom pads, and in the bust of the Health corsets, both of which
are stiffened with Coraline cloth. ”
