The Art of Dress Cutting Taught in a Few Lessons by
the Scientific System of Square Measurement.
What one of the oldest-established Court Dressmakers of London says of the Scientific System of Dress Cutting.
"To the Scientific Dress Cutting Association, 272, Regent Circus, London, W.
"Dear Sirs,—Since learning your Scientific System of Dress Cutting, I can truly say it is unlike any other method I have ever known, being easily learned, and so reliable, the instructions being printed upon the System, and always before the eye of the cutter. When measures are taken correctly, there is no difficulty in obtaining a perfect fit the first time. I have cut by your System various garments for numerous Ladies, and have thus far never failed to produce a perfect fit; among which I have recently cut a garment for a lady living in a provincial city (without even seeing her) from measures taken by herself according to your instructions, and I have since received a letter from her saying that it is the most perfect fit she has ever had. Therefore I have no hesitation in pronouncing your System perfect in every respect, and I am now prepared to cut and make garments by your System for any Ladies who may visit my Establishment. Wishing you every success in your business,
"Believe me, dear Sirs, very truly yours,
"JANE DAVIS.

"Messrs. Heath, of 107, Oxford Street, have a very sensible improvement in the shape of a soft-brimmed hat. Every one knows the painful sensation experienced from the pressure of the usual stiff-brimmed felt, or silk hat; this is quite obviated in the hat manufactured by Messrs. Heath. The same firm also exhibit felt hats with a weather-proof but sightly trimming, the hat being ventilated by small apertures under the trimming, instead of at the top of the hat, as usual"—Vide The Queen, May 26th, 1883.
Residents in the Country can ensure a comfortably fitting Hat being forwarded by writing for HENRY HEATH'S PATENT HEAD-MEASURING BAND, for taking the form and Size of the Head. The Band is forwarded post free to country residents for "Self-Measurement," ensuring a comfortably fitting Hat.
