A two-page 1815 broadside printed in Russellville, Kentucky, from the Shaker community at South Union in Logan County. The first page advertises their fulling mill and lists the stores where cloth can be left for dressing, with rules for labeling and delivery. The second page gives instructions to domestic woolen cloth makers on washing and shearing sheep, mixing wool, spinning, scouring yarn, sleying and weaving, and preparing cloth for the fuller.
