Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... THE CARE OF GLOVES In buying "kids," examine the fingers separately and look for broken stitches. If, when stretching the fingers the thread pulls away from the kid, leaving a white spot, the gloves will not wear well. When the kid stretches easily and seems elastic, it is likely to be a good quality; but if it is stiff or unyielding it will neither fit nor wear well. Always get a glove large enough. If they are so narrow as to require stretching they will never look as well as if the hand was the first stretcher. If they are short-fingered, they convert the hand into a positive deformity, and do not wear half so long as when they are of the proper size.

Button the second button first, and so on to the top, leaving the first button till the last. The greatest strain is on the first button, and when this is partially relieved by the fastening of the other buttons, the drawing of seams, tearing of the kid or enlarging of the buttonhole is prevented. When removing gloves, never begin at the tips of the fingers to pull them off, turn back the wrist and draw them off wrong side out. Before putting them away turn them right side out and smooth out lengthwise. Never roll them up tightly, one inside of the other, as whatever moisture they may have gathered from the hands dries in this way very slowly, and makes the kid stiff and hard. Strips of canton flannel are good to lay away between gloves. Dry cornmeal will clean light...
