OAKLAND, Md, May II. 1889.
In my tailoring business for the
last 40 years l have used number of
systems with which to cut garments
for ladies and gentlemen. can say
that the National Garment Cutter is
the most complete and simplest of

Miss Margaret Chrystal. of Oak
land, a dressmaker of long expert
ence, says that the National Garment
Cutter system is the simplest and best
she ever knew, and recommends it to
all families as being perfect in every
respect. She says to the agent, Mr..
Dyer, "Fill column in its praise for
me and then you will not haye said
too much"
Miss Mary White, an Oakland
dress maker, with little experience
as yet with the system of cutting as
taught by the National Garment
Cutter. is thoroughly delighted with
the simplicity and correctness.
Miss Marion Hoye expresses herself
as pleased with the National Gar
ment Cutter system.
Miss George Hoye, Deer Park
would not be without the National
Garment Cutter system for $50 if she
could not replace it..
Want of space in this issue pre-.
vents us from giving many more ties.

that wish to learn the use of the Ma

their own interest by calling on
