OR, The Turn Out. 



155 



expression In the early stages of adapting a calling for life, 

 "I like the trade/* and by his readiness in turning all 

 materials to the best, quickest, and most profitable account, 

 to blend all with that great desideratum, viz., smooth temper 

 and willingness to learn. 



In assisting the memory we economise time, and thus re- 

 duce the cost of production, which must tend to ensure the 

 fair amount of profit due to the manufacturer, and which 

 has not been always assured him. 



Should any solitary item be omitted from among the many 

 here given, the reader can easily supply the information 

 required by comparing the other parts named, and with 

 the aid of care and judgment he will find this Guide 

 sufficient to answer every purpose. 



The Author feels satisfied that the manufacturer will 

 appreciate the extent of labour involved in this portion 

 of the work, which sympathy will ful]y compensate the 

 writer, whose original anxiety was simply (in adding to the 

 literature of the trade) to fill the gap too long vacant. 



To give everybody's system and measurements is an im- 

 possibility, therefore the following is ofiered as a fair and 

 thoughtful average for the manufacture of the best quality of 

 harness only.
