 We make a uniform charge of 50 cents for each and every Full Special up to four changes (See Wholesale Price List). We charge only $2.00 extra for Ordinary Custom Garment in which we make all changes required unless it is extra size, added features, or the customer is deformed. For extra charges see Section 13, Paragraph 123, of this Manual and our Wholesale Price List

102. CUSTOM WORK.—When four or more changes are to be made, it is better to order a full Custom Made Corset. The cost, will be no greater for a Custom Corset made from a pattern drafted specially for your individual customer than to have four changes made in a Standard Corset.

In ordering full Custom Work, you must he very careful about taking measurements and giving instructions so plain and clear that they cannot be misunderstood. You must practice taking all of these measurements and be sure you know how before you attempt to take full Custom orders.

In taking measurements for Custom work you must see to it that your customer has her corset properly adjusted and properly laced. Insist upon taking the measurements over the corset with the outer gar­ments removed, then you can examine her corset and see how it is ad­justed.

103. You must always use our SPECIAL AND CUSTOM ORDER BLANK and fill out every measurement and give all information re­quired on same. You should illustrate the Special changes to be made from Standard, on Figures "A," "E," and "ZZ." If you are careful and explicit in filling out these measurements and illustrate the same, our de­signers can picture your customer very accurately and can make a gar­ment to fit the case exactly. Do not write a long letter about the order, but explain and illustrate everything on the SPECIAL AND CUSTOM ORDER BLANK. If you will give us all the information required on this blank we will guarantee to make the garment exactly what your order calls for. WE MAKE A SPECIALTY OF THIS KIND OF WORK. THESE GARMENTS ARE MADE AT YOUR RISK; THAT IS, IF YOU FAIL ON YOUR PART IN TAKING MEAS­UREMENTS YOU MUST KEEP THE GARMENT AND PAY FOR IT. WE SIMPLY GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL FOLLOW IN­STRUCTIONS YOU GIVE US AND IT REMAINS FOR YOU TO GIVE THEM ACCURATELY.

104. SPECIAL FITTING.— We will send a Custom Corset to you for special fitting before it is boned if you request it and when such fittings are required you must add from ten to fifteen cents additional for postage.

A Custom Corset must be modeled after some particular style of Corset in our Catalog and you must state which style you want us to follow. We invariably charge $2.00 extra for any corset which is sent out for special fitting, whether it is a Standard, Special or Custom garment. A Custom Corset ranging in size from 31 to 36 inclusive, costs $2.50 extra, and one in sizes from 37 to 42, inclusive, $3.00 more than Standard. When
