A 1929 promotional booklet from the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co. of Salem, Massachusetts, following cotton from the Southern fields to finished Pequot sheets and pillow cases. It describes each mill stage: bale breaking, picking, carding, drawing, roving, ring spinning, spooling, warping, slashing (starching) and power-loom weaving. It then covers bleaching, dyeing, finishing and packaging at the Danvers Bleachery, with red-toned illustrations of the machinery. It closes with a short history of the Naumkeag mills, including the 1914 Salem fire, and a note on bedmaking.
