Excerpt from Stone's New Superlative Coat and Vest System: Based Upon the Proportions of the Human Form During the last twenty-five years almost all trades have been doubled in capacity of output. In the field of garment cutting as great changes have been taking place: competition has become acute, not only demanding greater expedition in the work of cutting, but also more accurate and finer work, old cutters have been left behind, old methods superseded, old systems abandoned. This is inevitable. All things change, and the law of their change is that they shall change for the better, otherwise they are on the road to extinction. So that while a system may have answered all the requirements of first-class cutting but a short time ago, to-day it may be lacking in every essential that a first-rate system should possess. Systems which have for basis unsound or inadequate principles cannot keep abreast of progress, and how can they do so when they have no basic principles whatever, being little more than a conglomeration of rules, and therefore incapable of further development? Such was the condition of all known systems when I first published my "Superlative Coat and Vest System, " it was an answer to the demand for a scientific system of cutting, and was based upon the true proportions of the human form. It led further to the production of my "Short Measure Coat and Vest System, " and it leads now to this revised and enlarged edition of my "Superlative Coat and Vest System." The principles remain the same. They have been developed in harmony with the progress of cutting, making a system which lends itself to all phases of the science of cutting, meeting all the variations in style, all the new and strict demands which are constantly being put forth. Dr. Wampen, the anatomist, was one of the first to suggest proportions as a basis for a system of garment cutting. Its application has been attempted in many systems, and has always been abandoned in confusion, only in the works I have published has the principle of proportions been logically and scientifically carried out. and that it has greatly facilitated the work of garment cutting, making possible perfect fitting garments, elevating the science of cutting to an art, I leave this, my latest work, to testify. It has been my endeavor to be as simple and clear as possible in the explanation of this System, but the student must undertake a methodical study of the book Even the experienced cutter will not obtain the best results by simply glancing over one or two diagrams. The System is embodied in these diagrams and explanations, and only the student who begins at the beginning and goes to the end can thoroughly master it.
