January 1889 issue (Vol. 2, No. 1) of Baldwin's Textile Designer, a monthly trade journal for woolen and cotton mill people, published by A. A. Baldwin at Brasher Falls, N.Y. It mixes mill-management essays, finishing and flocking, oil testing, wool electricity, water softening, trade news and a biographical sketch of J. M. Masson with technical content. The technical content includes a Designs department with pattern drafts and weaves (Patterns 1-11) for woolen and worsted suitings, with warp and filling color sequences, and an article on satin weaves and satin-order figure arrangements. Advertisements for textile books, looms and supplies fill the front and back pages.
