of the shirt is adapted to project when the device is in use.

In the use of my improved holder, the leundried shirt, properly folded, is positioned on the bese l, with the neck bend projecting through lthe opening 5, and the ends olE the strip Il are no w manually enga-ged, and said stri is now rotated in either direction, prefer-ab y 'toward the opening 5, which action winds portions of the sections 2 and 3 5:, upon said strip 4, thus taking up the fullness of said sections and causing the seine to be drawn tightlyv over the bosom of thoshirt. The extended ends of the strip 4 ere r bent downward eround the sido edges ol shirt end into position immediately bene the side edges ol the bese l, thus niaintoi is entirely inclosed, with the e. tion of the neck bend end while so inclosed prevented from becoming soiled while beii 5 pacled or delivered.

In some instances, only one ol tl 2 or 3 may be attached to the un and where this arrangement is prov 4 opposite section is engaged and heid on met-al strip et the time the same ri i bring the flexible sections against n bosom. v

ln some instances, if desired, n single 'ller-tible section may be used in place of vthe two llexible sections, and where the single secti is mede use of, the ductile strip is secu any suitable manner to the center thereof.

By the use of e holder of my improved construction, laundried garments, such as shir f and' the like, and various articles of inerchsnn dise may be quickly and conveniently packed and delivered to the patron in e neat end clean condition.
