I notice that in The Patternmaker
you have been publishing some notices in regards to a new vise for use
in the pattern shop, and I send you a sketch showing a vise which used
to be quite common in the shop when I was a cub. As you seem to like to
publish the pictures of your principle writers, I have included a sketch
of myself when I was a cub. I am the little fellow in front of the
window. I hope that the good modern vises have displaced this old vice
in other pattern shops as they have in the one in which I served my
time.
