Installment of a serialized chronology of the textile industry, covering events from 1774 to the mid-1790s, mostly in the United States and England. It treats early American carpet, cotton, woolen and calico-printing enterprises, Samuel Slater's introduction of Arkwright-type cotton spinning at Pawtucket, Eli Whitney's cotton gin, and early cotton thread and stocking frames. Illustrated with portraits of Slater and Whitney, the Old Slater Mill, a model of the gin and a carding and spinning engraving. The last page carries a directory of textile trade marks registered in December 1911.
