Berlei's education for women on how to improve their figures included 'diet, exercises, correct corsetry, proper posture, individual make-up and inexpensive frocks chosen to type'.

The text says: 'Australians do not use enough milk. Great Britain less than 1/2 pint. Australia 1/2 pint. USA 1 1/2 pints. Holland 2 pints. Sweden 2 pints. Switzerland 2 pints. The people of Holland, Sweden and Switzerland are renowned for beautiful complexions and good teeth'.

This slide was manufactured by Shearman Slides, Croydon Park, NSW and was probably used as part of the education for Berlei corsetieres.
