[Illustration: A SYSTEM OF EASY LETTERING. BY J. H. CROMWELL.]
A rapid method to become a good letterer with a little practice.
Very easy to lay out a line of words in STRICT PROPORTION, whether it be on a fence 500 yards long or on a drawing only a few inches across.
Good for draughtsmen who prefer neat lettering, yet something out of the ordinary.
It contains 26 pages of alphabets whose modifications are almost limitless.
This little book will be appreciated by draughtsmen who wish to use plain letters (and yet somewhat different from the ordinary run of letters) for the titles on drawings. The book will also be valuable and useful to any one who has had no practice in lettering, as the easy method given for forming the letters will enable a person to form the letters correctly, and with a little practice to do so quickly.—_American Machinist._
