A short 1908 article from The Modern Review on the pashmina (shawl-wool) trade of Amritsar in the Panjab. It covers the origins of the industry under Ranjit Singh, the import of pashm from Tibet via Rampur and Kashmir, the Kashmiri weavers, loom-woven (Kannikar) versus needle-embroidered (Amlikar) shawls, growth in shops and looms, and comparison of Amritsar and Kashmir quality, dyes and adulteration. It also notes cotton-wool mixtures (Garba), German imitations, brokers' sales practices, and a table of present prices against 1899-1900.
