In no other medium priced Corset can you equal—or even approach—the style, design, fit and workmanship, which are sewed in every seam of every pair of ROYAL WORCESTER Cor sets. They are pre-eminently America’s best Corsets, selling at prices moderate enough for any purse. Royal Worcester Corsets are the short cut to the fashionable I figure of the moment—the correct foundation for the prevailing modes in gowns. Whatever the type of figure, there is a ROYAL WORCESTER designed to im- ^ prove and beautify it. THE ADJUSTO is the corset sensation of the age. It is the ultimate corset for every woman who would attain fig ure perfection. Most women of full figure and many of less generous proportions require a specially designed corset—one that will decrease and flatten the abdomen, reduce the hips and mould the form into graceful, fashionable lines. Such a Corset is this magical Adj usT;o —the most successful, iigure.reducing and form-beauti fying corset ever produced. The ADJUSTO is PRACTICAL because it accomplishes its purpose with ease, comfort and safety— ECONOMICAL because it outwears two or three or dinary corsets and is reasonable in price— DURABLE because it is rightly made of the best ma terials, retains its original shape permanently and will not rust—and further it has the famous ADJUSTING BANDS which can be instantly tightened or loosened (without removing corset) to suit the wearer’s comfort. This one feature alone is well worth the price of the corset. ADJUSTO STYLE All lit similar to style 806, except that the bust Is km.
