GOOD WAGES FOR GOOD FITTING.

GOOD WAGES FOR GOOD FITTING.
In large cities is a constant demand for good
Filters at salaries ranging from SIS to so
week. There are hundreds OF young women
throughout the country who have the taste
and talent to fill such positions; all they want
is an opportunity and knowledge of the laws
that govern the art of dress making. A want
of this knowledge precludes the possibility of
reaching a high position as Cutter and Filter.
We will help you in this matter. We teach
you in detail the art OF cutting. That our me-
thod is not hard to learn is clearly demonstra-
ted by the following testimonials of some OF
the best citizens of Grafton, w. Va. Wecould
give several columns of such and even stronger:

After thorough examination believe the
National Garment Cutter to be superior 10 any
other system in USE it being simple, easily I'M
derstood and correct. 1t has advantages pos
sessed by no other method, as it embraces
within its range all kinds of garments worn by
men, women and children including full dra-
perry and trimmings. Whenever lady has
cutting to do she needs Garment Cutter.
have had quite an experience in dress making
and cheerfully recommend it to all in need OF
any help in cutting clothing for themselves or
family. l have used other systems but have
laid them aside and purchased the National
Garment Cutter and am highly pleased with
its fitting as it adds wonderfully to the ap-
pearance of the form.
