First part of a 1929 article describing how a cotton-cloth finishing plant reorganized its put-up (folding, wrapping, ticketing) department to raise output and cut cost. It covers the original congested layout and staffing, the planned reorganization into dispatcher, record clerk, inspector and supervisor roles, and motion-study work on bundling pieces of cloth. Time studies show a cut from 1.21 to 0.76 minutes per piece, along with a Gantt task-and-bonus wage plan and small devices such as a cord-cutting ring and a needle with the eye in the point. It ends with "To be continued".
