The Copeland Method / A Complete Manual for Cleaning, Repairing, Altering and Pressing All Kinds of Garments for Men and Women, at Home or for Business

by Vanness Copeland

TOOLS REQUIRED AND THEIR USE:

The tools required for cleaning, repairing and pressing at home, or for business are as follows:

For work at home, use an ordinary kitchen table with smooth top. For use in business, a table eight feet long, three feet wide and thirty inches high (or as high as is convenient for the presser, this may be easily determined by using). This is called a tailor's bench. The balance of the tools are the same for work at home or for business.

The kitchen table or tailor's bench may be used for several purposes; the first of which is to place the iron, press-jack, sponge cloth, and garment while cleaning and pressing. Also for men to sit on while sewing.
