Important to Tailors t
PATENT ELASTIC SQ,UARE
AND
Self-varying Square Rule, ,
For measuring and dnlfting coats, in con
nection with, another new and useful rule
for cutting sale ot boy's coat's, up'on a more
familiar plan ; also, superior rules for cut
ting all other garments incumbent on that
branch, are now ofTered to the trade by the
subscribers ; beliving them to surpass eve
ry thing of the kind which has preceeded
them.
SELF-VARYING RULE..
, Great imperfections in the art and liabil
ities to produce a miss-fit have be.cn stand
ing before the cutter ever since the intro
duction of rules, filling the mind with fear
and anxiety, until the coat is finished and
tried onaf which crisis the blood is pften
caused -to, rqshjnto the face at beholding a
bad fitting coat. . , , ,
, The rulcsi with one or two exceptions,
which have been in use ever since the first
invention of tl.e.kind, were wholly predi
cated upon principles giving the same, pro?
portion for every man, which principles
would long since have been superceded by
self-varying rules, had tailors but thought
that the variation in the proportions of men'd
limlies are almost as many as in the features
of the face.
Two or three rules styled Self-varying,
have, made their nppearancc.!ivithjn about as
many. years,, each iuventut .claiming the hon
or of havipg perfected the art, upon which J.
G. Wilson, of New York, entitled his sys
tem perfect ; but instead of being porfect,
it contains many erroneous principles, which
the subscribers forbear to point out until
that gentleman assails this assertion. All
such systems have heretofore been defective
in two ways: First, they are only pi part
self-varying. . Secondly,' those, parts .whjqh
are intended to be self-varying are defcclivei
In fact, there arc certain points on the coat
which cannot be effected by self-varying
principles in any other way, nor by any
other means, than those laid down by the
subscribers. . . , en
Unlike any other of tho kind, this sys
tem now ofTered to the trade is conducted
without any breast measure, and effects ev
ery point and every part of the coat by self,
varying principles, in a way calculated to
convict the senses pf any reasonable manj
that should it ever fail to produce a good fij
upon any shape, whatever,, .the charge must
be laid to a careless and incorrect measure
ment. It, may seem mysterious, that this
rule is said to bu self-varying, and yet a
square rule a square rulo ant? yet conduct
ed without a breast measure ; but the whole
niystery will be unfolded at once by exam
ination. . Unwilling lb have it said'that.tha
ubscribers are attempting to palm this sysr
tern upon the trade with misrepresentations,
they avow their willingness to submit it in
to tho hands of an impartial committee for
an examination of its principles, in compar
ison with any other ever invented in tho
United Slates, at Philadelphia or Now York,
which committee shall make the decision
known through the press. Tho subscri-r
hers set all systems which are governed!
wholly by the breast tneasuro aside as in
ferior and not worthy to compare with I
consequently they will compare with non
but such :ia are governed in part by self
varying principles. For if tbr principles,
here ofleretl to the trade ate not worthy of
patronage it ia right that it ahould be matte
tnown, and they sink into oblivion On th
contrary, jf they srO found as above wprti
eatod, or if thareby tho eubecribwa havj pni
aa 'end to all further improvements ia ,
art of cutting coats they deserve eom f ;f
ronage and compensation for their exertiontl.
