The Measuregraph

1t not only measures off the desired
length of material, but it calculates the total
cost of your purchase as we'll, notching the
fabric at just the point where it is to be cut.
1t does all of this in a great deal less
time than it vould take if done in the old
way of measuring on tacks or yardsticks,
and calculating with pencil and paper.
This is but another demonstration of our
desire to better our service at all times, and
to insure absolute accuracy.
