A letter received from a pattern maker in one of the largest Western shops
states, "I do not see how any one working on fine pattern work can use
the Socket Paring Chisels or Gouges. the Shank tools are so much better in
every way for this class of work. There are used in our shop among the different
men at least 200 of the Ward Chisels and Gouges, and I have never yet come
across a poor one."
