Hints and practical information for cabinet-makers, upholsterers, and furniture men generally ..
A trade manual compiled by John Phin for American cabinet-makers, upholsterers and furniture dealers, published by the Industrial Publication Company in New York in 1884, mixing workshop recipes with advertisements for tools and fretwork patterns. The plates show white-on-black scroll-saw cutting patterns — pierced brackets, frames, card holders and fern fronds — plus wood-engraved treadle saws and a globe trademark, useful as stencil silhouettes and ornament.
