Special enlarged issue of the Boston Journal of Commerce and Textile Industries for December 8, 1900, a weekly trade paper for the cotton and woolen industries and steam engineering. It combines mill news from northern and southern states, wool, yarn and cotton market reports, personals, and technical articles on gas engines, shoddy dyeing, cotton cultivation and weaving faults, woolen finishing, carpet weaving, evener mechanisms, and Indian dyeing. Much of the issue is advertising for textile machinery makers (looms, cards, spinning frames, shuttles, heddles, bobbins), boiler makers and boiler insurers. It also has a column on the construction and origination of weaves by Charles G. Petzold, but no weaving drafts were found.
