We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The maker of uniforms should leave an "in- lay" of one and a half inches in all seams, and this should be stipulated in the order. It is more profitable in the long run to pur- chase a good quality of material, as it retains shape and lasts much longer. In selecting colors, bright and flashy shades should be avoided. At the close of winter and summer seasons, when the change from one set of uniforms to the other is made, those not in use should be thoroughly repaired, cleaned and packed away with some moth-protecting ingredient, so that pressing will make them ready to wear. Materials for winter use: Broadcloth, chev- iots, flamiels, thibets and meltons; preferable are broadcloth, cheviots and meltons. Materials for summer use: Serges, worsteds, mohairs, gabardines and white duck; preferable are serges, mohairs and gabardines. The up- keep of white duck makes it more expensive in the long run than any other material, and as it is not very "dressy," its desirability is ques- tionable. Colors: Navy blue, dark green, maroon, dark brown and gray are more durable than the deli- cate shades of mauve, plum, light maroon, old- rose, light green and marine blue. 263
