IMPROVEMENT IN SAMPLE-GARMETS.
Y Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,282, dated January 16, 1877 g application filed September 23, 1876.
distance to order from, and is intended and will save greatly in expense of carriage,` freight, boxing, expense of trunks, handling,
cost of samples, Snc.; and the invention consists in an improved method of exhibiting stock-samples of clothing, by means of a garment composed of various kinds or patterns ot' materials, and fashioned to exhibitV diiferent styles of cut, as will more fully hereinafter be described.
In the drawing, Figure 1 shows a vest each side or half made of a different pattern of goods, and each half also made up in a differ' Fig. 2 represents a pair of pantaloons, one-half plain and the other in stripes.
These goods will `usually be made of the regular sizes, so that they can be tried on, if desired by the purchaser.
Travelers for clothing establishments usually carry from four to six and eight large trunks or boxes, which cost from twenty-five dollars to thirty dollars each, and containing samples ofthe different cloths and stuffs made up into overcoats, coats, vests, pants, or other articles of clothing made for men, youths, and boys, upon which railroads charge excess baggage over one hundred pounds. 4These sainples, therefore, take a great deal deal of room, as garments made up of every kind of goods imported or used by the house must be shown by sample, so that purchasers at a distance can take their choice to order from, as well as to see the style of goods, cnt, fit, trimmings, and materials used. Every time these trunks or boxes are moved, considerable money has to be paid to porters, express companies, and
` railroads for freight and excess ofl baggage, and
to all persons that handle them. It becomes important, therefore, to reduce this great expense as much as possible," as ,-in a season it amounts to a large .sum of money. Thisv I have done one-half by my invention, by putting into each sample-garment two, diiil'erent styles of goods, as shown in the drawing, and
giving less trouble in showing to customers,
less time consumed in making sales, and less space or room required to display samples,
all of which are matters of importance to the trade.
At the end of the season the different halves can be taken apart and put with their appropriate parts, and sold.
If greater economy is desired in samples, instead of halvesof each, showing a different style and pattern, they might be divided into smaller proportions, each half ot' a vest or pants showing two styles, and so on; but I prefer, at present, the style of division as shown.
lf even greater economy is desired the different garments can be made up only in halves, such as halt' a coat, halt' a vest, and so. This would also save one-half in expense and space, but would not display the out,
This invention is only intended to relate to fashioned to exhibit different styles of out, sample-garments for commercial travelers to substantially as-shown and described. sell from. In witness whereof I have hereunto signed Having thus described my invention, what my name in the presence of two subscribing I claim as my improvement is Witnesses.
