Handbook on dress and cloak cutting
BY CHAS. HECKLINGER.
1884.
NEW YORK: PETER DE BAUN, PRINTER, 101 AND 103 FULTON STREET.
Entered according to an Act of Congress in the year 1884, by
Charles Hecklinger,
in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.
The following pages contain the author’s Improved System of Dress and Cloak Cutting, fully explained, with the intention of helping those students who, desirous to follow this branch of industry, are met on the very threshold by a difficulty—the choice of a suitable System.
The System given has been found to give the greatest security in its results, with the least trouble, it being easy to learn, readily used, and gives the greatest satisfaction to the large number of those using it. Everything in illustrating and explaining has been omitted which might tend to complicate or retard the student in acquiring it. Every point needed to make it clear has been carefully put down—in its illustrations, in the simple description, and in grouping the separate articles in their correct places—making it at once easy to comprehend and perfect as a whole.
