Chapter XXVII: Part 8: =FRET SAWYER’S ANNUAL FOR 1880.= Published Jan. 1, 1880

Fret Sawing has increased so much within the last few years, that the manufacturers of fret saws have thought it worth their while to bring their saws as near perfection as possible. Not only does this spirit animate the manufacturer, but it stirs with equal force the publisher of patterns, so that each new issue of designs is made better, if possible, than the last. We claim that this last volume of our issue eclipses, for originality of design and beauty of ornamentation, any previously issued. It contains patterns for a complete set of articles that no room should be without, all done in the Eastlake style, and no two articles alike. This book contains over 40 patterns. Price $1.00, post-paid, by mail.
