Cheapside House,
Chiltern, August 10th, 1904.
Dear Madame,--
We desire to intimate that Madame Cecily E. Davis, the accredited representative of Weingarten Bros., of New York, makers of the celebrated "W.B." Erect Form Corsets, will give a demonstration of the great utility and suitability of the various models of these Corsets for the different figures.
Madame Davis, the great corset expert, will be in attendance at our establishment from August 15th to 20th (both dates inclusive), with the object of fitting the celebrated American "W.B." La Vida Corsets. We sugest that it is desirable to give us a call during Madame's visit, even if not wanting corsets at present, so that the number or design suitable for your figure may be registered in our books for future reference.
No charge for fitting.
The celebrated "W.B." Corsets are 7s 11d, 10s 6d, 12s 6d, 20s, up to 50s.
Do not miss this opportunity of a life time, as Madame's visit cannot possibly be extended beyond the above mentioned dates.
Requesting the favor of a visit.
I am,
Yours respectfully,
H. DENNY.
