MERIDIAN

INTERLOCK

In these days of bustness bustle and strenuous sport you cannot secure a better protector of health and comfort than MERIDIAN Underwear.

The silk-like softness of both sides of a MERIDIAN garment will make you forget its presence next your skin. Yet the durability of MERIDIAN is remarkable. This is due to the MERIDIAN Interlock process. which locks every stitch, and to the use of selected yarns specially spun for the MERIDIAN machines.
