"Die in diesem Stammbuch bemusterten Qualitäten stellen eine besondere Auslese aus dem umfangreichen Angebot der deutschen Tuchindustrie dar. Sie wurden unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Eignung für die Anfertigung von Maßkleidung, ihrer Preiswürdigkeit und der Zuverlässigkeit des Fabrikats, mit größter Sorgfalt ausgewählt, wobei vor allem auch die Artikel wieder gebracht werden, die sich in der Vergangenheit bestens bewährt haben. Eine laufende Nachlieferung aller Artikel - in gleichbleibender Güte - wird vorraussichtlich mehrere Saisons hindurch erfolgen können. Es wird deshalb auch freundlichst um schonende Behandlung dieses Buches gebeten."
