EXTRACT FROM
"CHAMBERS' JOURNAL,"
ΑΝ
26TH AUGUST, 1882. '.
N Exhibit at the Exhibition of "Means and Appliances for the protection of Human Life" which appeared to have the merit of novelty as well as efficiency, was that consisting of LIFE SAVING GARMENTS. Most Dresses of this kind are of a cumbrous and unsightly description, such Garments in fact as no one would from choice carry about with him. But here we saw GREAT COATS, LADIES' JACKETS, &c., cut in the latest Fashion too, so Skilfully Furnished in the Linings with little Cylinders of Cork, that their, presence was quite undetected until pointed out.
People in the Habit of Yachting or who are engaged in an occupation which brings them into daily chance of falling into the water would do well to make further enquiries relative to this useful adaptation of the life-belt principle. -
The Manufacturers are Messrs. WENTWORT!! & Co., of 12, Museum Street, London, W.C.
SOLE AGENTS IN HONGKONG, LANE, CRAWFORD & Co who have a large assortment of these LIFE SAVING GARMENTS FOR SALE.
