The Tailors Handbook – Ninth Part of a Man
This is the third article taken from “The Tailor’s Handbook of Useful Information” by W.D.F. Vincent published in c1905
It is the second part of the the handbook which counters the ridicule sometimes offered to tailors about being only one ninth of a man.
“…It may be well, therefore, to explain this appellation so that our apprentices may realise that when they are called “the ninth part of a man” it really recalls an incident of kindly good nature which would adorn any profession and any rank. “
