Four pages of German-language promotional descriptions of three Hessian factories, probably clipped from a regional publication of about 1910-1912. The first and longest covers C. Grünewald & Sohn, a mechanical linen weaving mill in Alsfeld founded in 1857, which moved to power looms in 1874 and introduced individual electric drive in 1902. It describes awning fabrics, sacking, ticking and sacks, the weaving hall, humidification and the power plant, with photographs. The other two entries cover a sewing-machine parts factory (Louis Wetzell, Nieder-Erlenbach) and a noodle factory (A. W. Heil, Butzbach), which are not textile-weaving subjects except for bobbins and thread tensioners.
