Another in our occasional series of old newspaper ads in Brattleboro. This one is aimed at the ladies, though I suppose nothing would prevent a man from also being interested.
“The Pivot Corset. To provide a Corset that will fit perfectly and combine absolute comfort and ease has been the great problem of Corset manufacturers. This problem has been solved by the invention of the Pivot Corset. It is sold at the popular price of $1.00 by F. K. Barrows, Brattleboro, Vt.”
A corset that lets you pick up babies! How convenient. Everyone will want to stop downtown and purchase one.
