Warner Brothers was a major corset manufacturer and as saideline also produced children's waists meaning stocking supporters. Their Perfection Waists were an important brand. Here is an ad for Perfection Muslim Waists. There were several styles for boyh boys and girls. Separatet styles were made for the boys and girls. Some of the styls were for little children, but some were for children 2-14 years of age. The ad copy read, " Perfection Muslim Waists still the best selling 25-cent waist. And all perfection waists at 25 cents hve hose supporters attached. A Perfection Waist fits--it supports--it wears ell--it will stand whatever strain a youngster--boy or girl--up to 14 years--may put upon it--this statement cannot be made of any other waist--Why? Because Perfection Waits are perfectly designed, scientifically cut, carefully made--a Shaped Waist--reibforced with the bias or cirved strips, according to style, place at points where the 'pulling' naturally comes, with the strainequally divided either side of the armhole--every seam double-folded and stitched." The ad was placed in the trade journal, Fabrics, Fancy Goods and Notions (March 1911).
