Cluett v. Claflin, November 17, 1874, to Robert Cluett for an improvement in shirts In his specification the patentee stated the object of his invention to be -'First, to avoid the folding in of the edges of the bosom, and the raw edges and loose threads thereof which disfigure the bosom when so folded in; second, to stay the bosom, rendering it firmer in itself, and less likely to rumple or break; third, to avoid wrinkling of the bosom by the unevenness or fulling up of any one of the layers composing the bosom in any part thereof,- each and all of these three features having reference to the preparatory stages of manufacture, but to be completed in the bosom as attached to the shirt' .
