Its seam is so strong and elastic that ii 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 stitct remains firm, and neither runs nor ravels in wear, 1. Its seam is more plump and beautifulj and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. 8. Its seam can be removed in altering garments, ATTEE PEOPEB nrSTBUCTIOir, withoul picking or cutting them. 9.
