Notes
Content: Written on mount: "Oct. 15, 1910" Printed on border: "The Klosfit petticoat with its exclusive patented features does away with draw-strings that pucker and gather, causing wrinkles, discomfort and dressing annoyances, and offers to every woman a charm of dress, a feeling of ease and comfort not enjoyed by the wearer of the ordinary petticoat." "Klosfit petticoats patented June 4, 1907" "Greenwald Bros., Inc. 357 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 37 W. 26th Street, New York City. Distributed in Canada by the T. Eaton Co., Limited Toronto and Winnipeg" Includes additional text.
Source note: Ladies home journal. (Philadelphia, Penn. : Curtis Publishing Co., 1887-).
