The Cutting School.

The cutting school, now in pro-
gress in McMinnville, conducted by
Mrs. Rumbley, is a grand success in
the work Of cutting and fitting of
all kinds of garments. TO lay of pat
terms, and to cut, fit, and make gar
ments of every description, which
will conform in all cases with the
prevailing fashion and fit properly,
is by no means an undesira BILE attain
ment.
1t is one that any lady of limited
means will find valuable and eco
nomical fraction ofher domestic edu-
cationito the really poor such a knowl-
edge is a necessity, and to those of
larger means and ability to superin-
tend the cutting, fitting and making
up of their own and their children's
clothing, with the knowledge that
the result will be perfectly satisfacto-
ry, will in all cases prove very
agreeable occupation. But little can
be said to recommend such useful
knowledge that will not be apparent
to the most careless observer, mil
lions of families in moderate circum-
stances have for years felt the abso-
lutte need of such system, and they
have but to see the ease of attaining
such knowledge, and with what sim
plicity the work can be done, to hold
out their waiting hands to welcome
its introduction as Il faithful harbin-
ger ofgOOd into their households.
The system of cutting and fitting
which we are now introducing in
your vicinity is designed with the in
tention of fully meeting this long
felt want in every household, and of
doing so in the simplest and most
perfect possible manner. Any person
can readily learn its use and readily
lay off any desired garment worn by
men, women or children, of any size
and style. 1t is in itself so entirely
complete that even the most elabo-
rate trimmings can be cut, and any
style fdrapery is rendered easy and
simple to the uninitiated.
Our range of garments and styles
are unlimited; anything worn, and
1 any style ever designed will be
g found within its compass. To teach
: you this art is our aim and no young
: lady can afford to miss this rare
e chance. No mother can do her work
: successfully without such knowledge,
nor can she realize the full value of
: her highly prised sewing machine
). until she has Garment Cutter. Give
! your order to our canvassing agent,
i or call at our room in Faulkner
= building, southwest corner Main
Street and square,
Read what others say about it.
To aChOm u icGy concern Il have used
O every system for cutting and fitting of
any importance that have ever had the
opportunity to procure But while some
l. were limited to basque only, and furnished
only very limited knowledge of the art
i some were so complicated that | could
e not use them satisfactorily. / have laid
!. them all aside and adopted the National
Garment Cutter which find to be far SUI.
l. perior to anything have ever seen. don't
r. think | will ever have any more trouble in
:, cutting and fitting not only dresses but
u men and children's wear also.

We the undersigned hereby take pleasure
in saving that we have purchased the Ma
y tiOnal Garment Cutter, and after careful
examination we are convinced that it is fa
superior to any other system we have ever
known, being simple and easily learned anC
correct. 1t has advantages possessed by NJ
If other system, as itcuts all kinds of garment
~ for men, women and children, includin,
)o drapery and trimmings, with instructions il
ct making up, and no trouble to learn to us,
it. We believe it to be Just as represented
