THE NATIONAL GARMENT CUTTER

The favor which this system of gar
ment cutting is gaining in this locality
and other parts where il is being intro
duced, is sufficient evidence of it's super
Tor merits AZ convenient and econom-
izing article, which every family should
soon number among their household ef-
fects. To be provided with an apparat-
us which can be brought into requisition
at any time. however simple the article
of clothing or cheap the material to be
used, and get perfectly fitting bit of
apparel, is an item in household econ
omy, that no prudent housewife can dis
pute. II is a fact known TO everyone
that at least one half of the clothing
worn by the masses of our people is
trimmed out by the overworked mothers
in comparatively haphazard manner,
simply because she has no knowledge
of the intricacies of the systems of cut
ting and fitting in use, nor the time to
devote to their study. Asa consequence
children and adults also, are compelled
to wear garments both unbecoming and
uncomfortable. This is especially true
OF mems and boys wear, it being the
common opinion that these do not need
so much attention in this particular, as
does ladies' apparel. But in the Ma
tional Cutter there is relief from all this,
and every family can be supplied with
the means by which all kinds of cloth
ing can be cut and made up Mt home, 80
rs to lend beauty to the form, comfort
to the wearer, and be source of pride
to the mother, and others of the family
who have this work to attend TO. Al
though the system has been in use less
than two years, its merits have pushed
it to the front SO rapidly that it is pretty
thoroughly introduced throughout sever
al States, and il Is continuance that has
to live on merit alone, because its SIM
plicity lays il open to every eye 80 clear
IL that none can be deceived. All there
is tn it, is discernable on short investiga-
tio., hence the canvasser's glib cannot
buii up in the unsuspecting mind ofthe
pure, laser train of expectations that
will never be thoroughly realized.
In brief, the "Cutter" is simple, cheap
easily understood, never erring III its
work, after its use is learned, will last
for years with ordinary care, and should
be in every household in the land.
