A short 1906 encyclopedia article on how immigration shaped the American clothing trade, especially tailoring and garment manufacture in New York and Chicago. It covers the division of labor in ready-made work, the roles of Russian Jewish, Italian, Polish, Scandinavian and other workers, tenement home-finishing, wages, and labor organization. The characterizations of nationalities reflect the attitudes and stereotypes of the period.
