Présentation de l'éditeur

Kever in long-distance instruction in pattemmaking, or in any other trade, and therefore I dont expect materially to increase the number of competent patternmakers by means of this book. I have been as concise inthe statement of facts as is possible, for the reason that these facts are, doubtless, known to many patternmakers, and any unnecessary elaboration would be a waste of time, inconsistent with the ethics of the trade, and perhaps cause the reader to lay the book aside, unread. While this action on the part of those I am hoping to interest would, perhaps, result to their benefit, still, what is their gain would be my loss, as the chief end of books is profit to the producer. If the reader gets any good from the perusal of a book, he should give it the credit therefor, in the present case especially, else the balance will be on the wrong side of the account. I shall therefore be pleased to hear of any reader who may be able to persuade himself (and his friends) that the reading of this book has not been a waste of time. Don tthink that I am looking for before and after cases, but remember that I am dependent upon you for success in this venture, and that no readers means no dollars.
