A short 1917 trade-journal note on the Biltmore Industries of Asheville, North Carolina, which grew out of an industrial school begun in 1901 at Biltmore Village under Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt. It reports the sale of the enterprise to F. L. Seely of the Grove Park Inn, the building of new shops on the Inn grounds, and the reputation of Biltmore Homespun, an all-wool, unshrinkable, colorfast cloth. The management also asks for information on carding and spinning machinery.
