38 man, and then we have to, everybody doesn't wear a size 38, so consequently we had to have a patternmakera man who cuts patterns, as we have seen up there to the right, the cardboard patterns up on the hangers there, and he would graduate maybe by 1/8" for each size up and down and he would get the next amount of money next pay. now, we do have an idea of what the cutters were making back in about the 1900's, a really, really good cutter, could make between $600 and $800 a year and the ladies that were working in the sewing department, they were working by each piece. they got paid for, but they could make between $5 and $7 a week. now, in my job i was called a spreader. my job was to take the cloth and spread it on the table so that the cutters would have something to cut. i worked eight, nine hours a day, as i used to, back in the early days of the cutting business, the amount of time was about ten hours a day, so why don't we follow me around this way here, guys, and i'll get behind a table and give you an idea of what i did. this machine right here is called a spreading machine. it ha
