And you thought Warner Brothers was just a Hollywood Name. So did I, until I stumbled across this advertisement in a 1903 Ladies’ Home Journal. The advertisement boasts that their $5 corsets are “rust-proof.” I’m not sure what corsets were made of but apparently there’s some steel involved in their manufacture. And it seems to me that if a lady were given to perspiration, she could develop a serious rust problem.

Wait, I said that wrong. Let’s see. Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies “glow.” Okay, so if a lady “glowed” she could have a serious problem with her corset rusting. Unless of course, she had one of Warner Brothers’ Rust Proof Corsets.

I wonder if the corset makers sued when the movie makers got famous?

As of 1903, Warner Brothers offered ladies a "rust-free corset."
