Introdvictiorv 

In presenting this book to whom it may concern, I do so 
with the confident belief that it will satisfy at least the expe- 
rienced and intellig-ent cutters, for whom it is intended. It is 
purely geometrical from start to finish, on geometrical lines 
reduced to those indispensable to accuracy and simplicity. 
These two features are conspicuous in bringing out the points 
and establishing them unerringly, fixing them so they agree 
with the contour of the figure, no matter what the shape may 
be. It dispenses with all measuring sticks and harness and 
many other devices which only confuse the artist, and often 
get him into more trouble. To find the angles formed in 
center of back, in measuring, making this the basis, all the 
other points are discovered. 

After fifteen years of close study of this most difficult 
problem, always sanguine of its solution, not until I was 
forced by circumstances to give it more application, unbroken 
and undisturbed did it dawn on me like a revelation ; so 
clearly did this appear to me that I was confident of its truth- 
fulness. To make assurance doubly sure, I tested it on the 
most extreme shapes, extra square, the sloping, round, cor- 
pulent, stooping, extra erect and on all the abnormal shapes. 
The results of these tests warrant me in making the above 
statements. 

I shall be glad to go into an analysis with the purchaser 
of the book any time at his convenience, although not neces- 
sary, as its simplicity reveals itself. Any cutter who has had 
any experience can use it right away as quickly as any other 
rule or system I have ever seen.
