About the Organization: Butterick Publishing Company grew out of Ebeneezer Butterick's success in creating paper dress patterns that women could order by mail as well as buy in some mercantile stores. Inspired by his wife's difficulty in creating patterns in a variety of sizes, he undertook the task of making a pattern in multiple sizes, eventually extending the concept to include men's and children's clothing. The company published The Delineator between the years 1873–1937.
