Its seam is so strong and elastic that it never breaks, even on the bias. 5. It fastens both ends of the seam by its own operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs nor ravete in wear. 7. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. 8. Its scam can be removed in altering garments, AFTEE PBOPEB IJISTBTJCTIOK, without picking or cutting them. 9.
