Excerpt from New Superlative System of Cutting Ladies' Garments: Based Upon a Scientific, Sure and Simple Method

This century is opening with the outlook for business brighter than ever before, and especially is this true in regard to Ladies' Tailorings. In these days of progress this department of the trade is making an earnest bid for its share of recognition in the sartorial art. The time has come when the science and art of designing, cutting and making ladies garments is forging its way into the four quarters of the world, and tailors and cutters must be prepared to meet the demand by being thoroughly equipped - ready to master its requirements.

It is a fact to be regretted that so few works promoting the cultivation of ideas treating clearly and concisely on this special subject exist, and of those extant a proportionately small number can be relied upon. Books are our instructors, they expand the intellect, open the treasures of knowledge, rendering possible success in life undreamed of.

It is to further the development of the art of the highest order of our craft that I have produced the New Superlative Method of Cutting Ladies' Garments. Like my other works on cutting it is based on proportions, using for variations both shoulder-measure and short-measure methods, and makes an invaluable companion work to my "New Superlative System of Cutting Gentlemen's Garments."

I view the pages between the covers of this volume with the firmest conviction that it will be the instrument of power to assist many a searcher after knowledge in this line, and that it will open up a flood of light on various points that seemed obscure and unsolvable.
