STRETCHING AND PRESSING CLOTHES BY NEW DEVICE.
Men who are particular about the appearance of their clothing find that repeated pressing- at the hands of tailors tends to make the surface of the fabric shiny. This objection may be overcome by the adoption of a device recently patented, by which trousers may be pressed and stretched without injury from hot irons. The contrivance consists of jointed sections of veneered wood, so arranged*
i that both ends of the trousers may be inserted and firmly held by clamps. In so doing-, the wood sections are sprung- into line, bringing considerable force into play, thus stretchingthe trousers lengthwise., and producing- a desirable crease without the objectionable friction which removes so quickly the newness and freshness from fine woollens. ■ The device may be folded up and carried in a bag- or suitcase.
