A short 1916 International Studio article describing the textile exhibition at the Newark Museum in New Jersey, organized under director John Cotton Dana.

The author also covers how the museum involved club women, immigrant communities, schools, manufacturers and craftsmen. Illustrated with photographs of spinning wheels and a colonial hand loom.
