To morrow the moon may be a bus stop on the way to the stars. With these prophetic words, Henry Still,scientist, engineer and aircraft firm executive, predicts the gol den age of man in his book entitled, Will The Human Race Survive?

This shrinks fabrics as well as removing any lubricating finish that may cause skip ping of machine stitches. —Place all fabric on ta ble when cutting.
