| TEXT | The business of manufacturing ladies' hygienic under-garments has increased rapidly during the last few years. At the same time the most skilful designers are constantly originating new patterns, thus giving the purchaser an immense variety of styles from which to make selection. A very fine line of goods of this description is made by Mrs. A. Fletcher, No. 6 East 14th Street, who established this enterprise in 1875, and since its inception at that period has always enjoyed a liberal and substantial patronage, derived from the best classes of society. The principal productions of this house consist of vest and drawers in one, forming a continuous garment from neck to waist and ankles. These are made in all weights, from thin gauze to heavy cashmere and all wool; over that is a waist or corset. For ladies who wear corsets and who use the Union under-flannels, a stocking supporter from the shoulder is recommended to be worn directly over the flannel and under the corset. A lady dressed in this style has only three garments beside the corset under the dress, and this mode of dressing is especially suited to stout persons, as all superabundance of material is dispensed with. The goods manufactured by this house are unsurpassed by those of any similar establishment, and ladies will find here at very moderate prices hygienic under-garments, which are so much worn by those who are desirous of enjoying good health. The utmost care is exercised to render the most entire satisfaction, and the manufacturing facilities are such that failure is practically impossible. |
