Warner's Rustproof Corsets combine all three of these essentials. They are designed by a firm known all over the world and which keeps in touch with the latest fashions of Paris. Our customers tell us that Warner's Rustproof Corsets are not only comfortable to wear but that it is also satisfactory to know each pair is guaranteed not to rust, not to break, not to tear. And the Warner Company stands back of that guarantee. It gives a new corset for every Warner Rustproof Corset that by some chance may fail.
