Excerpt from Clothes Dictionary, Vol. 2: Quickly Stated Definitions Gleaned From Technical Dictionaries and Other Books, and That Current Trade Lingo That No Book Has Yet Set Forth
The first thing that a business man should know, is - the little things of his business.
There is nothing scholarly in this book of short easy helps to that which every clothing maker, buyer, seller and handler should know, but nine times out of ten does not know.
This is only a book intended for quick reference rather than thoroughness; it is not even complete; but, such as it is, the compilation is reliable. Go to the encyclopedia for exhaustiveness: we've accomplished a great deal if this sends you to the encyclopedia. Not one of us knows as much as we might upon the familiar aspects of our trade.
