Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Carriage and Wagon Painter In placing the manuscript of this book in the hands of the publisher, I was impressed with the belief that I had thoroughly carried out the original design, which was to write a full and comprehensive treatise on the methods employed by experienced workmen in painting a carriage, wagon, sleigh or railway car, and since the work of my pen has returned to me in printed form, I see no cause to change that belief or to erase one word therein. The painting of vehicles, although differing in many respects, according to their quality or value, is virtually the same, and I have departed from the beaten track of writers in magazines, and chosen for my text a wagon, from the fact that the field was a larger one, and in de scribing how - that vehicle could be painted, lettered, striped and ornamented, I could at the same time give all the information necessary for the painting of a first-class carriage or sleigh. My object, too, was to condense in one handbook not only the method of executing plain painting on vehicles, but to give all the instruction necessary for the practice of striping, lettering, scrolling, varnishing, polish ing and many minor accomplishments, which would be out of place in a work on carriage painting alone.
