A chapter from a 1906 industrial encyclopedia surveying the American textile industries. It covers cotton, wool, silk, linen, hosiery and carpet manufacture, with comparative statistics against the United Kingdom, and describes dyeing and finishing, including methods for producing multi-colored cloth through differential dyeing and mordanting. It also reviews textile schools in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and the South, and labor conditions in the textile trades, including wages, machinery such as the Northrop loom and ring spindle, immigration, child labor and working hours.
