ABSTRACT
‘High-class goods at prices that are usually only associated with cheap articles.’ That is the note of the sale at Peter Robinson’s in Oxford Street, which will continue until the end of January. Everything is marked down. Special attention is certain to be given to furs and mantles in view of the fact that people have by no means exhausted the winter as yet, while prices in these goods show an almost startling drop. The special feature of the ‘Acta’ corset is the adjustable belt which reduces the lower part of the figure. An elastic web is attached to an arrangement of running laces, and by this means a single movement is made to regulate the opening on either side, while supporting the figure and giving the effect of perfect flatness in front.
