 80. "I always buy - make of corsets, which I have worn for years, and they give me perfect satisfaction." "Yes; you no doubt have found better satisfaction in wearing ­corset than in any you can procure up to the present time, but I am sure you will not rest content with it if there is a better one you can obtain, and one which will give you better satisfaction for your money.

81. "Is your corset perfectly comfortable? Have you perfect free­dom of movement? Are you not apprehensive at times that your corset steels will break and cause you trouble? Can't you see that your corset does not possess the health properties which the Spirella Corset possesses? Can you buy your corsets with the guarantee of the firm that they are stainless and rust-proof, and that the stays are unbreakable?

"Demonstration is always more powerful than argument, and what I desire to do is to demonstrate to you that what we claim for Spirella is true,—that it has, desirable qualities which the corset you wear has not.

"Now, do you not think that an article of so much importance as a corset, which you wear 365 days in the year, and which is so important in one's dress and appearance, should receive our first attention, and that we should secure the best one obtainable regardless of what we have worn in the past?

82. "On the average I break down a corset every month. I have tried every make I could hear of and have found one as good as another. They all break in a short time." "I don't blame you for being skeptical. I might be more skeptical than you if I had been through your experience, but I want you to try just once more. The fact that you have not been suited before does not prove that you cannot be. The Spirella Company guarantee their cor­sets not to break. They guarantee them also to be rust-proof. Should a Spirella Stay break in regular corset wear within a year from the date of purchase, The Spirella Company agree to compensate you by making you a new corset free of charge. Besides they guarantee their stays to be rust-proof, and the eyelets, hooks and tips used in their corsets are stain­less."

Mrs. Ida G. Meyer, of Steubenville, Ohio, says: "I have great faith in Spirella, believing it is what it is claimed to be. My customers are well pleased with it, many having given their sixth and eighth order. They like Spirella because it will not take a permanent bend or break on the hip and consequently keeps its shape until worn out, and one corset will outwear two or three corsets of other makes, and when properly worn are perfectly comfortable and healthful, and always retain shape and style."

"I believe if you will give a Spirella Corset a trial, you will be ready to pronounce it 'Corset Perfection.'

83. "If I put so much into one corset, I would prefer a whalebone corset."
