The exhibit of P.D. corsets in the Christchurch International Exhibition, as portrayed in our illustrations of this issue, is undoubtedly one of the finest of its class that has been shown iu the colonies. The P.D. corsets are world known, and the factory -was the first one established for the manufacture of this class of goods in the world. They have been in competition with all other corsets in all the great exhibitions of the past, and have been successful in taking gold medals from 1883 to 1900 iu all Continental exhibitions; also the "Grand Prix,” Brussels, Boston, London, Anvers. Gand, Paris, Liege, and Milan, and Diploma of Honour, Brussels, Boston, London, Chicago, and Antwerp. These facts speak for themselves as to the premier position of the P.D. corsets in the world of fashion. They wera also the first factory that were ever rewarded the ‘'Grand Prix” in Paris, and are naturally particularly proud of that distinction.
