 The Cutting Room ITS DUTIES AND ROUTINE,

Being 1st and 2nd Prize Essays in a recent Competition.

It will be sufficient to state that each of these Prize Essays form an exhaustive Treatise on the Duties and Routine of the Cutting Room. The practical importance of this subject to every member of the cutting profession induced as to offer handsome prizes with the result of producing two very excellent Treatises.

This work enters into, and treats from a thorough practical point of view everything relating to cutting room routine, and everything relating to the working of, and what is required by, first-class tailoring firms. For young men aspiring to be Cutters, and Cutters of limited experience, this book is invaluable as it conveys very faithfully what the duties and routine of the Gutting Room are.

A NEW SYSTEM

ENTITLED The "Certain System" OF COAT CUTTING.

The author claims, after thirty years practice, that it is safe, sure and simple, cannot lead you astray, is absolutely true. Buy it, study it, use it.

The Seven Stars

COATS&TROUSERS SYSTEMS.

These comprise two distinct works, the Seven Star Coat Systems and the Seven Star Trouser Systems. Each work contains seven systems in daily practice, by seven eminent Gutters, accompanied by what each considers the secret of success in the cutting of Coats and Trousers. Each of these works met with a large demand on their first appearance, and the systems and instructions in both works have been very highly commended.

While preparing the Models for our Pla of British Liveries, it occurred to us that something more was required to enable the members of the Tailoring profession both to produce and understand the Liveries. This we provide in a full and exhaustive Treatise on the subject of MODERN British Liveries. The work is accompanied with

Every minute particular in regard to many details connected with this special class of garment is set forth in the work, thus enabling the tailor to produce any class or style of Livery worn at the present time. The work forms a necessary and indispensaole companion to our New Livery Plate. The various details and trimmings of the different garments are illustrated upon the diagrams, which are drawn to a large scale.

GREAT NATIONAL

Work on Trouser Cutting

THEIR DEFECTS AND CURE.

The First Prize Essay in a Compettion, for a prize of £10, offered by the National Federation of Foremen Tailors' Societies, by " Oxonian." This work is thoroughly practical, and deals with every phase of Trouser Cutting, together with a reliable system, with its adaptations to all requirements and all styles, as well as giving the cause and cure of 47 defects in trousers, hints on making, &c., illustrated by 70 diagrams.

From those who have put the system to the practical test we have received a large number of the most flattering testimonials, which gives us every confidence in recommending it to all who require a thoroughly reliable Trouser System which can be readily adapted to meet the requirements of the most fastidious, as it is based on scientific principles, which have been proved correct by hundreds of Cutters in daily practice ; as an example, the Nottingham Society recently had a Competition, in which they cut two pairs of trousers from cloth, when "the Prize trousers carried off the palm, and it was agreed by general consent, that the system is an excellent one. and deserves harsh praise."

{{c|Academy Trousers and Other Systems.}}

This is the only work on Trousers Cutting recognised by Dr. Humphreys, and is a Work which contains the fruit of the Doctor's 35 years' experience as a Cutter, Teacher, and Author. It is not simply a Trousers System with Deviations and general remarks on Trouser Cutting, but contains a variety of systems besides the main Academy System—many good, some indifferent, some positively defective, and all given with a view of showing the good and bad points in Trouser Cutting, with the view of enabling the Cutter to accept the good and avoid the defective points in systems and in Trouser Cutting.

The various sections of this work are illustrated by 14 beautifully engraved Plates. This is doubless the most comprehensive work on the whole subject of Trousers Cutting yet published ; the Doctor's many years' experience is brought to bear upon every page, the whole forming a practical guide for every-day use and work. {{c|'''Price 7/6.
