Page:The perfect dress fitter ... Complete instructions in the art of cutting all kinds of garments (IA perfectdressfitt00bear).pdf/5



HERE are thousands and thousands of dollars annually spent in this country for the cutting and making of garnents, thereby making a great expense upon every household that should not exist, but the expense, time required to learn, and the intricacies of the systems of cutting heretofore in use, have placed it so far beyond the react of families that the knowledge, ta be efficient in the art of cutting, has been almost out of the question. As it costs any dollars to learn anything of it at all and months of time and study.

Then it could not easily be done; new calculations must he made for every different garment, and it kept the party who learned it in a constant study in order to cut with any accuracy whatever.

The art through these disadvantages has only been learned by those who wished to make the art of garment cutting a profession, Very few ladies outside of those making it a profession thoroughly understand garment cutting. In fact but very few know anything of it at all.

While the ladies are not to blame on account of the disadvantages they most go through in order to he. enabled to do cutting.

Yet this should not be so. Every lady, young or old, should understand as well how to cut and make garments as she should all other domestic duties. she should understand as well how to cut herself a dress as she should know how to prepare a meal of victuals or any other duty allotted to woman, and yet we find but very few informed upon this most necessary part of their duties. even if she should not wish to make the garment herself, she should at least know how they were cut and how they were made.

If every lady understood the cutting and making of garments she could save more in her home every year than upon most any other duty of the household.

Seeing this great necessity for some simple method of garment cutting for to be used in the family, the inventor, after yours of practical experience and study, finally produced "The Perfect Dress Fitter," which he feels assured will meet this great public necessity.

His aims has been to make it so simple and yet so perfect, that any lady could with but very little instruction he enabled to cut any article of wearing apparel worn by themselves or members of their families.

And judging from the way the "Fitter”? has been received wherever it has been placed before the public, he feels well satisfied that his plan is a success even beyond his own expectations. No lady has ever used it that has not praised both its simplicity ant the perfectness of its work,

We are in receipt daily of testimonial letters from all parts of the country. We have never sold one that has not given perfect satisfaction.

There are many systems of cutting in use, but all more or less imperfect in their work, and these cutting but very few garments, most of them, but one basque, and that in many cases only to the waist line.

Our system covers the entire field of cutting. We cut not only one garment but every garment worn by ladies, gentlemen and children. No matter what it is our system cuts it.

It is based upon the finest scientific principles known, which are used in all mechanical work, and therefore basing our work upon the only correct methods of measurements and calculations which are used by all classes of mechanics we have been able to produce a correct scientific work.

And it requires hut a few moments for us to prove that what we say is true.

We do not insist by any means that every one shall learn our work, but there are a great many ladies idling away hour after hour of time who could, if they knew how to cut and fit the garments for the family, save a great expense upon the household and turn their idle hours into pleasure and profit, and there is no reason why it should not be done when it can be accomplished so easily.

We would like for every lady or gentleman who has an opportunity of seeing our work to have it fully explained to them and thoroughly examine it in every particular, You will always find any agents ladies and gentlemen in every sense of the word, We employ no others and they will always be found willing to explain the work fully to you in every way. And should you after a careful examination of our system, conclude to learn it, you will find our employes very efficient teachers, as we never send one out who is not competent in every way both to explain the work and teach it, though it requires but very little teaching, as you will find by carefully examining it that if is se simple and the directions so plain for its use that any one can by first carefully reading the directions be enabled to cut any garment they may wish without any teaching whatever.

All we ask is a fair square trial of oar work, knowing that if you will honestly investigate it that it will fully meet with your approval.

With these few remarks we remain,

Yours truly,
